  • Title: Physical allergies.
    Author: Horan RF, Sheffer AL, Briner WW.
    Journal: Med Sci Sports Exerc; 1992 Aug; 24(8):845-8. PubMed ID: 1406166.
    Abstract:
    Allergic responses that occur as a result of exposure to physical stimuli are discussed. Most of these conditions are mediated by vasoactive substances, resulting in urticaria and/or angioedema. Susceptible individuals who engage in athletic activities may place themselves at particular risk for these problems. The physical allergies include cholinergic urticaria, exercise-induced anaphylaxis, cold urticaria, dermatographism, solar urticaria, and aquagenic urticaria. Management of these conditions includes patient education, selective avoidance, antihistamines, and, in some cases, induction of tolerance.
