Man dies from allergic reaction after his partner ate peanuts before VERY intimate act
Published: | Updated:
Medics have warned those with severe food allergies of the lethal risk of some intimate activities - after a teenager with a peanut allergy died from a reaction triggered by a sex act.
The tragic young man had received oral sex from a male partner who had recently eaten peanut butter, according to Canadian doctors, who documented the case in a medical journal.
In the middle of the encounter, the teen, whose age has not been revealed, began experiencing problems breathing.
Recognising he was having an allergic reaction he quickly used an inhaler - which he carried on him at all times.
However he collapsed shortly after.
When emergency services arrived 45 minutes later they couldn't find the boy's pulse.
While medics successfully managed to restart his heart, the damage to the organ was too severe and he died in hospital the following day.
His cause of death was found to be anaphylaxis, a serious allergic reaction that causes life-threatening inflammation of the airways.

The extreme immune reaction can make it hard and even impossible to breathe and cause the heart to stop due to a lack of oxygen.
Anaphylaxis is considered a serious emergency requiring treatment like an adrenaline auto-injector (such as an EpiPen) and a call for emergency services.
Medics, describing the case in the journal Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, said traces of peanuts were likely contained in the saliva of the boy's date.
This peanut-laden saliva was then partially absorbed by the sensitive permeable skin on the teen's genitals, they said.
They noted that the boys had not recently kissed, which meant oral sex was the only way peanut traces could have entered the victim's system.
Australian adult star Lucy Banks, who makes over £30,000-per-month on OnlyFans, recently explained how she suffered an allergic reaction to peanuts from her partner's sperm

The medic cited studies that have shown traces of peanuts can remain in saliva for up to six hours after consumption, with allergy attacks from kissing known to occur even a person has brushed their teeth, rinsed their mouth and used chewing gum.
They added that given condoms were not used this also ruled out the possibility of the teen having an unknown latex allergy.
Medics have previously documented cases of women with peanut allergies suffering reactions from traces of the allergen food in their partners' sperm.
Australian OnlyFans star Lucy Banks has also described how an encounter with a man who'd recently eaten peanuts left her in agony.
Medics who reported the Canadian case claimed it was the first 'intimacy-related' allergy incident recorded that involved two males, and oral sex.
They added that the event demonstrated the need for better education and awareness of the sex-related risks of allergy attacks.
'With increasing popularity of relationship applications, especially amongst stigmatised populations, this case highlights the importance of allergy awareness and patient education to decrease risk .' they wrote.
'Amongst those participating in intimate activities, disclosure of one’s allergies warrants discussion, as the outcome can be fatal.'
The medics also took time to thank the patient's family for providing consent to the publication of the case to help raise awareness and potentially save lives.
Experts estimate that 10 Brits die from an allergic reaction to food each year, with 5,000 people hospitalised.
