Hi,

That's a great question. Using Google to search I found a few papers that can answer your question.

Is this the information you were looking for? If not, provide a little more detail about your project hypothesis and what resources you havbe for the testing.

Thank you :D It was really helpfull, I appreciate your help. I am trying to find a way to help the people that have Aquagenic Urticaria. This is when someone is allergic to water and can not have an abundance of contact with water because they will then develop red painful weals in their skin. In my experiment I am going to find a way to reduce histamine production but in order for me to do so I need to produce histamine first.
