Beckham took to Instagram to share a photo of his dogs and make a startling revelation. He wrote, “Hay fever kicked in today. My eyes are watering.” David has over 74 million followers on his Instagram, and all of them were equally shocked to find out about the sickness. No one knew of his condition.
Hay fever is a common sickness, scientifically known as allergic rhinitis. It arises as the body overreacts to allergens and causes inflammation in the nose. A specific type of acupuncture, known as marmapuncture, is beneficial for fever. It uses fewer needles as compared to normal acupuncture.

Cyclist David Millar suffered from an allergy to the sun! He would slather himself with sunblock so much that he would resemble Casper. Olympic champion swimmer Ian Thorpe had an allergy to Chlorine, while Jade Johnson pursued being a long jumper despite being allergic to sand. American Football player Kermit Tyler had the weirdest allergy of them all, an allergy to strenuous workouts. Tyler was 19 when his career got over.
