i initially had allergies with seafood... then after my boyfriend and i got together, after about a year, he had allergies with seafood also... (allergies, like if i eat seafood, i get itchy all over... now, it happens to him also)..
i thought, maybe it's because of the transfer of bodily fluid when we have sex...
well, i was just curious

No, only bacteria and viruses are transmitted from one to another. Additionally, an allergy will not show symptoms until at least the second exposure to it.........after the immune system recognizes it as "an intruder". Immune systems are fickle and at times will attack ones own organs, AKA, auto-immune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, etc.
Also, one may develop an allergy at any time in their life to anything, even after years of no allergic reaction. First thing is to take an anti-histamine (Benadryl). If symptoms are serious, do not hesitate to go to the ER. Hope this info helps.

No. A persons allergegic response can change over time. Some scientists believe this is a result of a bored immune system.
As a kid I never caught a rash from poison ivy, but in my later teens, sure enough I caught it.
I've read nothing on this topic to suggest it was a transmittable blood borne affliction.

I am no doctor, but you have to look into why you have the allergies. You may have a weakened immune system due to fungus or possibly parasites. It may just be that you passed this fungus or parasite over to your boyfriend.

yes allergies are due to the bodies reaction against a specific antigen not recognizable by the bodies immune system. when unknown substances reach the body which includes intering any orifices including the vagina and the urethra the bodies immune system may react with that substance causing an allergic reaction to it.

NOPE - that is not how allergies work. Check out www.webmd.com and type in allergies to find out how allergies actually work.

No, an allergy is a reaction in your bodies chemistry. You didn't give it to him. Good luck!

No. That's something you develope yourself. You can't catch allergies.
