Does anyone else feel dizzy after crossing themselves with holy water? Or am I allergic?
 
I do not think that is a possible allergy, as you are born in water, must drink water and are mostly water.
 
If you bathe, drink or swim, then you are not allergic to Holy Water. The dizziness is from some other source.
 
That’s just the toxic algae blooming inside the holy water fonts that haven’t been cleaned in 37 months. Don’t worry about it. It still takes another 5 or 6 months before it starts developing language skills and advanced hunting tactics. After that happens you have to call in the Swiss Guard, armed with a 50mm.
 
I don’t see how you could be allergic since it’s water. It’s probably something else that’s causing it somehow. At least it doesn’t burn your skin. 😛
 
If you bow when you do it you probably have vertigo.
We clean the LARGE (and I mean LARGE) font out completely with bleach every week. All the churches around here do. And if you only have those little finger dipping cups, they evaporate long before they grow anything. :rolleyes: It’s likely not dirty.
Does this happen when you bend over?
Are you ascribing (mentally) way too much to the Holy Water?
Fear can do a lot of things tot he mind.
You may, in all seriousness, be overthinking things. Take this to your priest.

H20 is too small to mount an immune response, being at best a hapten (though not really), amongst other reasons not the least of which is that you wouldn’t need that specific water to do it.

You are probably overthinking it and don’t need an exorcist. Go to a different church and try their holy water.
 
One, I said I don’t need an excorcist, two I’m not joking, remember holy water has antifungal chemicals in it, not just water, that is what I’m asking if I could be allergic to…🤷

Chemicals? Our Holy Water doesn’t. Unless the city adds it to the water we drink.

Father gets the water from the tap, blesses it, and behold, “Holy Water.”

Holy water DOES NOT have antifungal chemicals in it.
Whoever told you that is not being truthful, and if they do that, they should stop it immediately.

I have a Holy Water font near my front door and try to keep it filled with Holy Water which I get at the local Benedictine Monastery, although I could also fill a bottle from my church. I do not recommend using Holy Water for cooking as in some places, such as the monastery, they use antifungal chemicals in the water.

Ask your local priest before you use the water for cooking I think.

I try to remember to bless myself frequently, and believe, as others do, that it is a powerful deterrent to the evil one. I know one thing, certain people who could be considered “dangerous” no longer come to our home at all. And that started when the holy water was placed by the door. I find that interesting.

**As I said, this is not the NORM, nor is it a recommended practice. **

Do you attend at that Monastery?
Is this one of those huge outdoor fonts? They might, and I mean MIGHT put a capful of Clorox in it, but in gallons upon gallons of water it would not affect anyone.

Churches do not use chemicals.
I work in a parish. Never once have we put chemicals in the holy water. Nor in any of the previous 5 parishes I have worked in , during my life.
