Clearly, there are differences of opinion on this question.

One person said, "YES! I myself am! There is medication that some of to take because even drinking water causes the same effects to their inside as well, kind of like you can get chicken pocks on the inside. I have to take medicine everyday, I'm allergic to myself since we are made up of [water]."

With a problem called aquagenic pruritus, an intense prickly itch can be triggered by contact with water on the skin. This itch can last 45 minutes or more after water contact but has no visible sign on the skin. Another condition, called aquagenic urticaria, can also be caused by water contact, but it appears as welts or a red rash. The cause of these reactions to water is unknown. Even though both can result in increased histamine levels in the blood, they are not technically an allergy. Research continues into both; but given their rarity and lack of symptoms in the former, it is very difficult to tell what exactly is the problem.

It is also possible to be allergic to additives in water, such as fluoride, without being allergic to the water itself. This is the case with our oldest daughter.

People who are allergic to cats aren't really allergic to their fur. Their allergic to the dandruff a cat produces as an adult.
