The term "idiosyncrasy" typically refers to a personal habit or quirk, not a medical reaction. However, there are some related terms you could use:
Hypersensitivity: This describes an abnormal sensitivity to a substance, including food or drugs.
Adverse reaction: This is a more general term for any negative response to a substance.
Idiosyncratic reaction: This combines the idea of an individual reaction ("idiosyncratic") with the general concept of a response ("reaction"). It's not as common as hypersensitivity, but it conveys the same meaning.

Blexas
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
