Reference for Makhshirin 6:6

אֵלּוּ מְטַמְּאִין וּמַכְשִׁירִין. זוֹבוֹ שֶׁל זָב, וְרֻקּוֹ, וְשִׁכְבַת זַרְעוֹ, וּמֵימֵי רַגְלָיו, וּרְבִיעִית מִן הַמֵּת, וְדַם הַנִּדָּה. רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר אוֹמֵר, שִׁכְבַת זֶרַע אֵינָהּ מַכְשֶׁרֶת. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בֶּן עֲזַרְיָה אוֹמֵר, דַּם הַנִּדָּה אֵינוֹ מַכְשִׁיר. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, דַּם הַמֵּת אֵינוֹ מַכְשִׁיר. וְאִם נָפַל עַל הַדְּלַעַת, גּוֹרְדָהּ וְהִיא טְהוֹרָה:

The following impart impurity and make [food] susceptible to impurity: The flow of the <i>Zav</i> [a man suffering from gonorrhea], and his spit, and his semen, and his urine, and a <i>Revi'it</i> [a specific unit of volume] of a corpse, and the blood of a <i>Niddah</i> [a woman who has menstruated and is thereby impure]. Rabbi Eliezer says: Semen does not make [food] susceptible to impurity. Rabbi Elazar ben Azaryah says: The blood of a <i>Niddah</i> does not make [food] susceptible to impurity. Rabbi Shimon says: The blood of a corpse does not make [food] susceptible to impurity and if it fell on a gourd, one may scrape it off and it is pure.
