Hi there. I personally think that they can. In fact I just googled this very question myself and I'm having allergy/mild sinus issues the past few days.

What type of materials cause anaphylactic reactions?
To be honest, there can be so many materials that cause anaphylactic shocks, for example:
- bee stings
- other insect stings
- Peanuts or other nuts
- latex (like the surgical gloves)
- sometimes with animals like cats!
So there isn't a definite answer to that question, because there are just sooo many materials that people get allergies from. you have to remember that the shocks occur when antibodies in your blood stream overreact to a substance, and it takes time or forever for certain people's bodies to work out that the material is completely safe and it isn't going to do any harm to the body.
Hope I helped :)
"Hay Fever" is the old name for what are called today "seasonal allergies". They tend to occur at certain times of the year when certain types of pollen are abundant (May: Tree pollen, August: Ragweed pollen, etc). The allergies can make you miserable, but they can't kill you. Anaphylactic shock from bee venom can kill a person, and certain compounds can cause severe food allergies, though in the case of food allergies, death much more rare. Food allergies typically make the sufferer extremely ill, but death is unusual. Death from anaphylactic shock is common, though.

What in axe body spray causes an allergic reaction?
Axe makes many products so I can only speak about the body sprays. My wife does not have allergies to most sprays and soaps, but just traces of Axe body spray sent her to the emergency room with head-to-toe hives, swelling and breathing issues.
The source was a mystery doctors and to us, and even eluded a full allergy scratch test. My teenagers had some Axe as a gift and the residual on their clothes got her. I figured it out a few weeks later and we tested by putting a tiny swab of Axe on one wrist and another swab of "control" perfume next to it. The Axe spot swelled up within a minute and so she washed it all off and we threw all the Axe stuff away. They use other body sprays / perfumes (not Axe) and they are all fine.
She now notices early signs of allergy when she goes to the Axe loaded perfume isle of the "superstores" and sometimes if she spends any time at our kids' schools. If she takes a benedryl soon after, she's ok.
