Cold urticaria signs and symptoms may include:  Temporary itchy welts (hives) on the area of skin that was exposed to cold A worsening of the reaction as the skin warms Swelling of hands while holding cold objects Swelling of lips from consuming cold food or drink  Severe reactions may include:  A whole-body response (anaphylaxis), which can cause fainting, a racing heart, swelling of limbs or torso, and shock Swelling of the tongue and throat, which can make it difficult to breathe  Cold urticaria symptoms begin soon after the skin is exposed to a sudden drop in air temperature or to cold water. Damp and windy conditions may make a flare of symptoms more likely. Each episode may persist for about two hours. The worst reactions generally occur with full skin exposure, such as swimming in cold water. Such a reaction could lead to loss of consciousness and drowning.
