SAGUENAY, Quebec (AP) -- 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.

There's a kid in my youngest daughter's school that has this same allergy to peanuts. There can't be ANY and I mean ANY peanut products at the school. There are signs at the school entrances that tell of the prohibited peanut products. Even the slightest contact is said to be potentially fatal for the kid with the allergy.

You know how hard it is for your first grader to take a lunch to school that doesn't include a peanut butter and jelly sandwich?

Seriously? No kid in the school is allowed to bring in any peanut products? I would think that that would be unenforceable just due to the fact that most kids and parents wouldn't remember.
