Understanding Allergies to Other Humans

コメント · 20 ビュー

Some people are allergic to others – but the mystery of how this works is only just starting to be unravelled.

Some individuals experience allergic reactions to others, but the mechanisms behind this phenomenon are still being explored. One woman, Maura, shared her story of developing a severe reaction to semen, which led to life-threatening situations. These rare immune responses can impact various aspects of life, from health to relationships. Scientists are delving into the complexities of these reactions, shedding light on the intricacies of the human immune system.

One common trigger for sensitivity to others' bodies is external products found on the skin, such as synthetic fragrances. Skin gases emitted by individuals can contain chemicals like toluene, which may lead to allergic reactions in some people. Additionally, conditions like People Allergic To Me (PATM) highlight the potential impact of skin gases on others.

Specific allergens in bodily fluids can also induce allergic reactions. For instance, semen allergy, or seminal plasma hypersensitivity, can cause symptoms ranging from skin rashes to anaphylaxis. While cases are rare, they shed light on the complexities of allergic reactions to bodily fluids.

Diagnosis and treatment of these allergies can be challenging, with some individuals resorting to desensitisation therapy. However, further research is needed to understand and address these unique immune responses.
