I can't find the other recent thread that mentioned allergies (I think it was a penicillin allergy) so I'm starting this one.
Not long ago, I had an experience with someone who took a swig of hot water before proceeding with the more customary phase of the process. I didn't notice her take the swig (she was carrying a cup, faced the other way and just seemed to put the cup down), so the hot sensation surprised me at first but, overall, and combined with her skill, it was very good and not uncomfortable at all.
The problem was on another occasion when another provider took a swig of something else before continuing with a BB version. (I remember a quick, natural hand movement to her mouth, like she might have licked something from her palm or fingers.) Let's just say that "minty fresh" is all well and good for mouthwash but please keep it off of other parts that can be very sensitive to those things.
Based on the smell and the sensation, I think it was probably oil of wintergreen or peppermint or something like that. It wasn't as bad as the old BenGay-in-the-jock-strap prank, but I had to suggest that we take a shower break. "Love is a burning thing and it makes a fiery ring" but it's not supposed to burn like that! Fortunately, the fire went out after the shower but I don't want to go through that again.
I don't she's a misandrist. Everything else went well. I think she was well intentioned and probably had success with that technique with others.
Anyway, I figured I'd bring it up here for a couple of reasons:
1. Some people have allergies or sensitivities and should probably be consulted before surprising them with stuff like that. That probably works BOTH ways: Guys, don't surprise your host with weird lotions or mouthwash or hair gel if they contain unconventional ingredients. Don't dip your stick in peanut butter without asking if she has a peanut allergy first.
2. Any guys or providers have any other unusual things that they've encountered in this regard? Tricks that are intended to enhance the experience that may or may not have worked? ... or worse, caused a problem?
It could have been a flavored lube. I've heard of some women that use "anal glide" and stuff like that in their mouths to stop the gag reflex for DT.
I myself always ask someone if they have any sensitivities before using any sort of massage oils/lotions and wouldn't put a potion in contact w/someone without asking first.
I like the taste of a man au natural - freshly showered, no perfumes, lotions or whatever.
Had a gentlemen use cologne down there, I love giving bbjs but that night I had to hold my breath and keep coming back up for air. the cologne irriated my sinuses and about made my eyes water. He didn't sprinkle his wand but there was enough in that region it smelled like he took a bath in the stuff.
Another issue I've had is one particular gentlemen I see fairly often is on various medicines for heart, bp, etc. The first time we met I didn't think too much about it and swallowed - I was so sick the rest of that day, it was like I took the medicine.
Since then I wont swallow him, he's got a bitter taste and as soon as it hits my tongue, I finish him with my hand, he is one of the few men I refuse to swallow.
so men - no cologne in your nether regions - freshly showered scent is great, no add ons needed.
and if your on medicine that could affect someone else - give us a heads up before we give you head!
I think it was in referance to my post (link below) reguarding AntiBiotic allergies. It is a good point.

Alternate with ice, and ahhh x3.
I agree, some warning is nice. Some edible lotions have numbing effect on me. Thankfully, I haven't had the ring of fire yet.
the lady and I got into the shower together (was a multi hour date)....after soping up, and playing some great slippery shower games...she rinsed off, and applied some type of "invigorating" shower gel to herself. She then started het invigoration therapy on my cock and balls. It felt GREAT....for a couple minutes....then came the flames! HOLY SHIT...I was actually ready to use a steel scrub brush to get the shit off!!!! She felt really bad, and after I finally got it off, she did some rally great "kiss it, make it better" therapy.
I agree....if you have a surprise...ask first.....or.....at least be willing to make it all better 
I was still fairly new to this, and decided that maybe I need to try one of those herbal enhancers. With my package came a "free gift". It was a free sample of penis wipes, guaranteed to give you the biggest, hardest erection you've ever had, and do it instantly. So, fresh out of the shower, with about a half hour before the lady was to arrive, I followed the instructions to the letter. What I failed to do was read the ingredients. One of them was cayenne pepper. Had I read the ingredients, I may have opted not to wipe this all over my dick. Needless to say, within a couple of minutes, my dick burst into flames. At this point, I had visions of opening the door with my dick soaking in a bucket of ice. Fortunately, jumping into a very cold shower made the burning subside, and I did have a terrific evening.
Lesson learned: Don't put pepper on yor pecker.
I sell a product to my patients that helps with aches and pains. It is not unlike Icy-Hot except you can only buy it from your doctor. The idea is that after application to an area The area becomes numb, cold, then hot. It is Basically a topical for treating pain. To my surprise my patient and his wife came in the day after there appointment wanting to see me but would not tell my receptionist why. (They had experimented with the pain relieving gel) Long story short, The numbing was not bad but the ice quickly became fire. On the bright side they spent the night in the bath tub together but were both walking noticeably bowlegged the next day. Just remember folks our genitals are extremely sensitive so if it was not made for there you probably should not put it there.

One time, long ago, I was on a GFE date. Prior to the date, I was munching on a salad, which I assumed would be inoffensive on my breath. Well, it backfired badly, when I was kissing my client. He was allergic to nuts, and there were nuts in the salad! There were trace amounts of nuts back by my molars, I guess. It caused a terrible allergic reaction. I just steer clear of food before dates now!
