Live Science is reporting A Woman Had a Dangerous Allergic Reaction After Sex:
A woman in Spain developed a serious allergic reaction after a sexual encounter, which may have been triggered by her partner's semen, according to a new report of the woman's case.
The 31-year-old woman broke out in hives and experienced vomiting and difficulty breathing after engaging in oral sex with her 32-year-old male partner, the report said. The woman was diagnosed with anaphylaxis — a severe, whole-body allergic reaction that can be life-threatening.
The woman wasn't taking any medications and hadn't eaten any unusual foods that might have triggered the reaction. But her partner was taking a course of the antibiotic amoxicillin for an ear infection. Amoxicillin is related to penicillin, and the woman told doctors that she had a penicillin allergy.
The case report authors say it's likely that the woman's allergic reaction was triggered by amoxicillin that had concentrated in her partner's semen, which she was exposed to during oral sex.
BMJ Case Reports has a paywalled writeup on the incident. (Anaphylaxis probably induced by transfer of amoxicillin via oral sex)

There's going to be lots and lots of "clicks" on this one. From the folks thinking it's about somebody that's allergic to sex -- something very special -- instead of allergic to antibiotic. Something that, unfortunately, happens all the time. And I'm so lucky it doesn't happen to me. Because I'm on Tetracycline, for my complexion. So my skin stays white, not red. And our Citrus Farmers asked "Sir, can we please put the Oxy Tetracycline on our trees?" Since they asked very "nicely" -- I told them yes!!!

Most women are allergic to sex. They often have reactions, and swell up - and stay that way for months. You knew that already, I presume?

That's terrible! I've heard the swelling gets worse and worse, and after about 9 months it suddenly resolves itself.

"Most women are allergic to sex."
My impression is that most women are allergic to me. No sex is I involved.

I think your doctor gave your father too much medroxyprogesterone acetate when you were conceived.

Lots of people are allergic to antibiotics, right? This says it may be less than commonly thought:

Take a cab, either home, or to a hospital, I don't care... I'm just going to go to sleep now.
Imagine the braggadocio at the office the next day... "Yeah, I finished and just turned over and slept... The next day I woke up alone... Perfect way to end the night."
