Caroline Crayquin, 25, of Boston, Massachusetts, is a rare disease called the `obesity cell activation syndrome'(MCAS).
Obesity cell activation syndrome is a disease in which even minor stimuli that do not harm the body are mistakenly recognized as risks in the body and cause severe allergic reactions.
It is known that one out of 150,000 people develop the disease. According to foreign media such as the Daily Mail, Quinn suffered from serious food allergies while growing up, but was only diagnosed with MACS in 2017.
Queen has particularly severe symptoms, so she can only eat oats and specially manufactured nutritional food. Eating other foods can cause an allergic reaction that can be fatal.
Symptoms such as shortness of breath, swelling and itching of the neck and mouth, loss of consciousness, hypotension, hives, and rash appear.
Also, just kissing someone who ate food with allergies can cause dangerous situations.
`If someone wants to kiss me, I must not eat anything three hours before the kiss, and I must not eat peanuts, nuts, sesame seeds, mustard, seafood and kiwis that cause fatal allergies,' Quinn said. `I must brush my teeth right before I kiss."
What would happen if you kissed someone who hid or broke it?
"Some reactions occur immediately when you kiss someone or after you kiss them," Quinn says. "As soon as you feel that your entire mouth, including your lips and tongue, is itchy, you stop immediately and let the other person know that you're having an allergic reaction."," he said.
Also "If it's worse, you'll have symptoms of redness and dizziness. I can't breathe well either. Brush your teeth immediately and take emergency medicine if necessary," he added.
She said her current boyfriend, Ryan, is adhering to these rules well and enjoys the same meal together.
