Can my boyfriend be allergic to me?
I'v been seeing a chap for about 7 months and we where getting on really well, so we decided to make our relationship offcial. every scince we have been together hes had phases where he is quite ill, but we dont know what is wrong with him. recently i'v only been seeing him on a weekend because he has been ill all week, he is complaining of having pains in his left side. we have been joking about the fact hes allergic to me as hes olny been getting ill scince weve known each other but now im starting to worry. And i miss him so much during the week that its getting me down. Can he really be allergic to me?
Besides allergies go away pretty quick when the source is removed. So if he only got ill upon seeing you and then after you left he felt fine that would sound more like an allergy. However his symptoms do not sound like allergy either. Asthma, runny nose, itchy eyes, sore throat, coughing, irritation on skin are some allergy symptoms. Pain is usually not.
Sounds like he is just ill and probably needs to be seen by a doctor. Allergies to a person is not likely but allergies to what may be on a person is very real. For example if you own a cat or dog you can carry the dander that is in the air from your home on you and your clothes. But what you are describing does not sound like allergy. If he becomes repeatedly ill after seeing you and gets better away from you and this happens all the time or most of the time it could be an issue if bacteria or viral. But if this is the first time he is ill just have him see a doctor.
I can give you one example that may or may not relate. If he was very run down and you were well rested you could possibly come in contact with a viral or bacteria, catch it, never feel it and fight it off with in 24 hours. However if you kissed him or shared drinking cups, ect with in the 24 hours if he was in a weak condition he could become ill enough where he was not strong enough to fight off the illness as you did. It's just an example that I was able to base on someone else that I know. The boyfriend was working 2 jobs always sleep deprived and run down. When he was with his girlfriend who was usually out partying after they kissed he would get a cold. Rarely does he other wise get sick. But usually after he is with her if she was starting to go out and get run down she would some how get him sick. Although she rarely got sick her self. This is probably an isolated case.
But had this boyfriend that I spoke up in such a run down condition make contact with other people he would probably get sick anyway.
My point is, usually in order for that to happen someone has to be really run down. So it's not likely at all you got him sick. But there would be a VERY GOOD CHANCE he could get you sick at this point.
I hope he feels better soon and I recommend he sees a doctor.

Hello,
Your boyfriend cannot catch any allergies from you.Allergies are the hypersensitive response of the body to an allergen.However,he can catch an infection like bacterial,viral or parasitic if you are having any infections like of the respiratory tract or GI tract.
It is just a coincidence that he is ill after meeting you.Regarding his pain on left side,what kind of pain is it?Pls elaborate on his symptoms so that I can help you in reaching a diagnosis.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how your boyfriend is doing.
