 A male friend of mine was allergic to testosterone!  So this should be
possible for you to be allergic to tears.  Actually, most likely to one of
the hormones released in the process of crying - esp if under emotional
stress.  (the hormones will vary in ratios if tears are caused by allergic
reaction/stress/physical pain or emotional causes)

A good allergist and/or an endocrinologist should be of assistance
