海鲜过敏的人小心接吻
Here's a tale to dampen romantic passions: sometimes a kiss is not just a kiss, if you have food allergies.
这是一个打击浪漫激情的故事：有些时候，一个吻不只是一个吻那么简单——如果你有食物过敏症的话。
A 20-year-old woman with shellfish allergies went into severe anaphylactic shock after kissing her boyfriend, who had just eaten a few shrimp, doctors reported.
根据医生的报告，一名对甲壳类过敏的20岁妇女在于男友亲吻之后出现了严重的过敏性休克，因为其男友刚刚吃了一点虾。
"It is important to warn susceptible patients that food does not actually have to be eaten to trigger an allergic reaction," Dr.David Steensma of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, said in a statement.
“必须警告易于过敏的患者，过敏反应不一定要以吃下(过敏原)食物为条件。这一点非常重要，”明尼苏达州罗彻斯特市梅奥诊所的医生大卫斯丁斯默在声明中说。
"Touching the offending food and kissing or touching someone who has recently eaten the food can be enough to cause a major reaction." Writing in the Mayo Clinic Proceedings, Steensma and colleagues reported that the woman had a severe reaction--her throat swelled up and she had cramps and nausea. A quick trip to the emergency room saved her life.
“接触过敏食物、亲吻或触碰刚吃过这类食物的人就足以引发强烈反应。”斯丁斯默和同事在《梅奥诊所学报》上撰文说，这名妇女出现了严重的过敏反应，她的咽喉肿大，并有痉挛和呕吐的症状。人们赶紧把她送到急诊室，这才保住了她的性命。 |
