A Maryland woman nearly died from an allergic reaction to her husband’s semen following sex, The Independent reports. It turns out she was allergic to an ingredient in the antibiotics her husband had been taking.
The 46-year-old Maryland woman presented to the emergency room with dizziness, diarrhea, itchy hands and feet, and severe sweating after having sex with her husband. Doctors initially thought she was suffering from sepsis — that is, a severe infection — due to her low blood pressure. However, after further testing, they determined that she was in anaphylactic shock, which can be the result of a severe allergic reaction and can be fatal.
Fortunately, anaphylactic shock can be treated relatively quickly and easily via the administration of epinephrine, the ingredient that’s in so-called “Epi-Pens” that some people with severe allergies carry with them. And indeed, she was sent home with an Epi-Pen.
