What is the history of Aquagenic urticaria?
When was Aquagenic urticaria discovered? What is the story of this discovery? Was it coincidence or not?
It is very rare. There is a small amount of people that have been PROFESSIONALLY diagnosed. There are plenty of people that claim to have the condition and are self diagnosed which is not beneficial to anybody who has been diagnosed with the condition.

Aquagenic urticaria (AU) was first described by Shelley and Rawnsley, who reported three cases in 1964, and fewer than 100 cases have since been published in the literature.

It originates from the Latin word urtica, meaning stinging hair or nettle, as the classical presentation follows the contact with a perennial flowering plant Urtica dioica.
In 1879, mast cells were discovered and this lead to the awareness of all sorts of allergies.
It’s not until recently when Aquagenic Urticaria has even really become a thing.
