It doesn't seem that shocking to me. It seems fairly logical.

And I've never seen a study posted to /r/wtf.

For those jumping straight to the comments: It's an allergic reaction to semen of a nut eater, not Sexually Transmitted Allergies.

Title (of the article) likely to be misleading:

The allergic reaction is not itself sexually transmitted. The brazil nut allergen is sexually transmitted (via semen) causing an allergic reaction in someone known to be allergic
