If this is the case, it will only get worse. My family has had severe allergies long before anti-bacterial soaps came out.

My family, too!

A 15-year-old girl with a peanut allergy did not die from kissing her boyfriend following his snack of peanut butter, a Quebec coroner said Friday, countering a report that drew international attention late last year.

But Saguenay coroner Michel Miron said wouldn't reveal the cause of death because he hasn't yet submitted his final report to the provincial coroner's office and he is also waiting on some final test results.

The official said he wanted to speak out before the case was cited by the Canadian Association of Food Allergies.

Now, that's a surprise. The article says she didn't give herself a shot of adrenalin because she wasn't having an allergic reaction.
