"Those with minor or moderate allergies most likely won't notice anything, but if you have a severe anaphylactic reactions to certain foods, then I would take special precautions with your partner to make sure they haven't eaten anything that could trigger a negative, and possibly serious, response", she said.

Medics explained that allergic reactions that occur after sexual intercourse could be down to seminally transferred food proteins in people who have allergies.

The case looked only at nuts, but the experts added: "It would be interesting to see if other food proteins may be secreted into semen and present a hazard to sexually active individuals with a significant food allergy."
