Meet the kissing artist

For people with allergies, kisses can bring many potential dangers, scientists warn.

Suppose a person is allergic to certain types of medicine or food. If that person's mistress is fed with allergy-causing foods, their kiss can lead to unpredictable consequences, allergy experts insist on Livescience.

The consequences may include itching, rash, difficulty breathing, swollen lips or throat. Food allergies attack about 2 to 3% of adults, 5 to 7% of children.

So what do people in love do? Experts believe that if someone loves an allergic person, he or she should brush their teeth and clean their mouths within 16 to 24 hours before kissing. But Dr. Sami Bahna, former director of the American Association of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, said such precautions do not prevent the risk for some people.

Kisses can bring disaster to people with allergies.

Bahna states the case of a 30-year-old man with allergic allergy syndrome. Every time he comes into contact with peanuts, he falls into anaphylaxis - a form of allergy that can be fatal. The man's lips were swollen, and his throat was itchy after his girlfriend kissed him. Two hours before the kiss, the girl had lost her teeth, brushed her teeth and rinsed her mouth.

According to Bahna's argument, the cells in the girl's body still produce allergens several hours after peanuts are digested in the stomach.

The relationship of love becomes more and more important, the risk of danger from allergies increases. Doctors have met people who are allergic to chemicals in condoms, lubricants or even semen. Some people find it difficult to breathe or have a rash as their bodies secrete special chemicals in the process of cuddling or having sex with their partners.

'The number of people who suffer from the kiss may be much higher than the number we know because most victims consider it a shameful incident,' Bahna commented.
