AllergyNotes links to a case description in the Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology of something never reported before (according to the authors, at least): a sexually transmitted allergic reaction to Brazil nuts.
Allergic reactions due kisses have been reported in the media and medical literature before.
