As many children become allergic to peanuts after their innoculations (due to

peanut oil

being used as an ingredient in some vaccines), here is another senseless tragedy

that could

have been avoided with a greater safety measures placed on vaccine

manufacturing.

Can you imagine how devastated her boyfriend...not to mention her FAMILY... was

after that

kiss?

Teen With Peanut Allergy Dies After Kiss

2 hours, 29 minutes ago

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.

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.
