Admin Hero1 Posted November 30, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Posted on Mon, Nov. 28, 2005 Teen with peanut allergy dies after kiss Associated Press SAGUENAY, Quebec - A 15-year-old girl with a peanut allergy died after kissing her boyfriend, who had just eaten a peanut butter snack, hospital officials said Monday. Christina Desforges died in a Quebec hospital Wednesday after doctors were unable to treat her allergic reaction to the kiss the previous weekend. Desforges, who lived in Saguenay, about 155 miles north of Quebec City, was almost immediately given a shot of adrenaline, a standard tool for treating the anaphylactic shock brought on by a peanut allergy, officials said. An autopsy was being performed. Dr. Nina Verreault, an allergist at the Chicoutimi Hospital in Saguenay, declined to comment on the case. The symptoms of peanut allergy can include hives, plunging blood pressure and swelling of the face and throat, which can block breathing. Peanut allergies have been rising in recent decades. The reason remains unclear but one study found that baby creams or lotions with peanut oil may cause children to develop allergies later in life. About 1.5 million Americans are severely allergic to even the smallest trace of peanuts and peanut allergies account for 50 to 100 deaths in the United States each year. Canadian figures were not immediately available. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/news/...da/13275788.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfuqua23 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 That why people need to get to know each other before they hop in the sack and all that goody goody stuff. Now if she didn't know, then that's really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesSyde Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 not only would i feel cursed and whatnot, but i'd feel guilty and i'd probably be really sad and upset to have killed someone i really loved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
