Yes, it is possible to be allergic to the cold, in fact, people that are allergic to the cold and that live in cold weather can generally get disabled parking passes to make transition from heated car to heated store easier.

∙ 14y agoYou are probably experiencing allergy symptoms, which makes you think it is from the cold. You are in fact in the midst of a simple cold, not Allergies. You cannot have an allergy to a cold, as a cold will usually give you allergy like symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, etc.).

What could cause your skin to break out in a rash and hives whenever you are in contact with a cold object or even cold water?
Its an ice allergy - there is an actually medical name for it but athletic trainers call it an ice allergy. I have the same problem and I went to the Doctor and they told me just to take an antihistamine before being in the cold for a extended period of time. I know my friends who are athletic training majors have to ask all the players if they have an ice allergy before they wrap them in ice - so its not like its completely unheard of.
