DEF

... an allergic reaction triggered by a physical stimulus.

OBS

A physical allergy differs from other allergic reactions because the trigger is a physical stimulus. The physical stimulus can be cold, sunlight, heat, other stimuli that cause sweating (such as emotional stress or exercise), vibration, a minor injury (such as that due to scratching), or physical pressure. For some people, symptoms occur only in response to a physical stimulus. For some people who have other allergies, a physical stimulus makes symptoms worse.
