  1. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2677824/Rain-sweat-tears-kill-Mother-tells-daily-battle-extremely-rare-allergy-WATER.html This makes no sense at all! I would have believed her if she didn't mention that she cannot even drink any liquid containing water (there is a condition on the SKIN where an oily chemical, reacts with water and forms an antigen the person is allergic to. The water is NOT the allergen however, but the transport. It is called Aquagenic Urticaria, but the antigen is NOT water) The fact that she mentions she cannot drink water, or properly drink anything with water in it, tells me she is trying to tell us she's allergic to water internally. Aren't your mast cells surrounded by water molecules? This would mean she should be having a CONSTANT allergic reaction. She looks OK in her picture though. Thoughts? Anyone?
  2. It is said a misfolded prion is a denatured protein. Infectious prions are very rigid due to the amount of disulfide bonds are stuck together. But they can 'replicate' by turning normal prions into infectious prions. So does the misfolded prion interact with the normal prion or is it the other way around? How can a denatured protein cause normal proteins to also get denatured? By ''functional'' I mean do these denatured but infectious proteins perform any actual chemical reactions.
