Quebec Girl's Death NOT From Peanut Butter Kiss

Saguenay, Que. — A fifteen-year-old girl with a severe peanut allergy did not die from kissing her boyfriend after he had eaten peanut butter, Saguenay coroner Michel Miron says.

He said, however, that he wanted to speak out before the case was cited by the Canadian Association of Food Allergies.

“The Canadian Association of Food Allergies intended to use the Desforges case to launch an education campaign,” he said.

In other words, a political group hellbent on controlling what food we eat and how many times we can go to the bathroom.

I guess this dispels the myths about second hand peanut butter.

This sounded so unlikely. I guess it was.

Interesting twist indeed.

Now can we get back to the bird flu pandemic. I want Southern fried chicken tonight and I need to know if I kiss the boid before, or after, I twist off his head.

Not necessarily. There probably ARE people that allergic. But not many, thankfully.
