When Laura Kukic's boyfriend kissed her hello, he had no idea it would result in a hospital visit.Laura, 14, from Barton-Le-Clay, Bedfordshire, was first diagnosed with a severe nut allergy when she was three years old. Her throat swelled up and she began struggling to breathe after kissing the boy, 16, who realized he'd eaten cereal with hazelnuts but had forgotten to mention it.
Like many Medical ID wearers, Laura carries her EpiPen around with her wherever she goes and recovered after staff injected her with adrenaline, but she was taken to hospital as a precaution.
She said: "It was just a friendly hello kiss. Nothing out of the ordinary, nothing passionate just a brief touch of the lips. It just shows you how something that you would think is so safe could turn into something so dangerous."
