How sad for the family, and an unintended kiss of death from the boyfriend. What a thing to have on your conscience. :(

I'm betting that that guy will never get a date again...

Anaphylactic Shock is nothing to take lightly. It is deadly.

If she gave herself a shot I wonder if she did it correctly and if it was not expired. Sad. RIP

This suggests two things: deep kissing, and poor oral hygiene. If my wife found peanut-butter in my mouth at an intimate moment, I'd end up dead.

Prayers for the family.

Can someone sue Jimmy Carter (former Peanut Farmer) over this?

First off, moron, it was the girl that died. Secondly, and this is probably the most important of the two, you're an ass.

Why the hell are so many people suddenly allergic to peanuts? This was not a problem when I was a kid.

I wonder if an emergency tracheotomy could have saved her.

I don't understand it either. I have a classmate whose daughter died because of a miniscule amount of peanut .Her friend's dad made brownies for their slumber party--even made some with no peanuts. Apparently, he stirred the batters with the same spoon. The girl didn't have her syringe with her.

WOW...just the residue on the spoon did it, huh? I agree with some other posters...I had no idea how deadly this allergy is. And why now is it so prevalent? Or did we just never hear about it before?

How terrible. The thought of losing your Daughter over something like this is horrible.

My thoughts are with her family.

:O)

Anyone with an acute allergy (bee stings, food, etc.) should always have with them an Epi-pen (provides a self-administered injection of epinephrine , you need a prescription) and several Benadryl.
