    No. Human body contains over 70% water.

    Peace,

    Supposively there was someone who was allergic to "water" but the only problem is, everything comes from water so if you were, you'd die instantly cause your body is made up of a certain percent of water.

    IDK how you can be, unless it was a chemical in the water itself making you allergic.

    Allergies can take different forms- death isn't the only reaction to an allergy.

    If it is death, the person may not live long enough to be documented as an example of a person being allergic to water.

    I don't think it's possible. Maybe chemicals from the water but not H2O itself.

    If that happened, the embryo would die instantly, because cells need water to live.

    One may not be allergic to good quality potable water but likely to develop allergy for some of the components present in it as contaminants...

    Not a dumb question at all :)
    You could be allergic to your water source....... if it's making you sick send a sample away for testing. There can be all sorts of nasties lurking in our water supply....

    Your body is like 99 percent water. How could you be allergic to it? You might be allergic to certain chemicles in water, such as chlorine or flouride.

    Yeah I watched a program on TV that this girl was in this radiation accident.

    Her skin will be harmed if it is in contact with rain water or tears or so.

    But im not sure whether pure H2O is.

    Yes, it is.
    In my country (Serbia) is a man who is allergic on water. But only in liquid condition. Not on snow or ice.

    May be possible! I will explain, if you are allergic to some thing and if you get exposed to it continuously little by little you get desensitized to it. This is the way desensitization is done, by giving (introducing) the allergic substance to the person in small quantity and slowly increasing the dose and after certain period of time the person can tolerate the allergic substance.
