Montreal teenager Eryn Margolese can't stand the cold -- she has a condition called cold urticaria that causes her to have an itchy rash, and can even produce life-threatening anaphylaxis.

Eryn Margolese’s routine before going outside this time of year would sound familiar to a lot of Montrealers.

In such “ice cube tests,” he explained, “we wait five minutes and then we observe the development of hives aftewards.” “Basically the exposure to cold is assumed to generate an auto-allergen, so a substance that your immune system reacts to.” For Margolese, the news was hard to hear. One of her main triggers wasn’t winter weather, but being at summer camp and swimming or boating every day in a cold lake, which she loved.
