A Romanian woman has died from an allergy to her husband's sperm.

He told doctors they knew about her allergy to proteins in semen but didn't always use a condom when they had sex.

A doctor from the hospital in Negresti which treated the woman said it was a rare case.

Dr Corneliu Ciocirlan told the Libertatea newspaper: "We did all that we could to save the patient's life but with no success. These allergies to sperm are extremely rare but very serious. I have never seen anything like this before."

Cristina Dumitru's husband, Grigore, said: "It all started a year ago when we married. She was choking and feeling very sick after we had sex without using condoms. This last time was even worse and I took her to the hospital but she died very soon."

Cristina, who was 25 and from Ipatele, in Iasi county, discovered she had an allergy several months ago after medical tests. Libertatea reports doctors told her she had to avoid contact with human sperm because she was allergic to it.

". . . avoid contact with human sperm . . ."

I was wondering where everyone was today.

I do my bestest!

There are some really weird threads in here today. I was going to do an xs and take a snooze, but these stories are funny.

OK. Here's the deal: Allergy to seminal fluid occurs very rarely, usually in women with an allergic history. I found no case reports in men. (Curious?) This would be the first reported death although serious allergic reactions happen. It is treatable with desensitization.

did you see the one where the chick fell asleep in the tanning bed and fried her internal organs?

[xsmommy]

once again our lives are immeasurably enriched by our association with you, cj. i love you.

"It is treatable with desensitization."

I'm afraid to ask the obvious . . .

[Slip18]

I haven't seen that one.

The Pet and Meatman thread is funny.

I'm going off to search for the tanning bed thread. LOL!

[CholeraJoe]

Allergy shots.

[NeoCaveman]

Allergy shots.

Is that what the medical community is calling it these days?

[Slip18]

ROTFLMAO! Shooting the old allergy highway . . .

[xsmommy]

i think he meant actual hypodermic needle ones, sweety....

[NeoCaveman]

Oh, In that case I won't volunteer at the hospital ;-)

[xsmommy]

Maaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn.

Wonder if he'll be charged with a crime? It's likely that here in the states he'd be charged with negligent homocide - or even first degree murder. (since he KNEW she was allergic) Kinda like intentional poisoning...

Sad but maybe...?

[phasma proeliator]

Very true - this is why it is more likely for a woman to develop pre-eclampsia with the first child and less likely with subsequent children (from the same father).

Her body becomes "normalized" to his proteins and doesn't reject them.

You shouldn't know that.

I'm gonna tell the Bishop.....

[Fintan]

From what I understand, she had it coming...
