A British man who had never before had an allergic reaction
in his life almost died on Christmas Day after using a popular
deodorant spray called Lynx. After spraying himself with it,
Darren Palmer began to develop an itchy rash that quickly developed
into anaphylactic shock which left him unconscious.
Palmer indicated that he had used this brand of deodorant before
without any problems, however the product that almost killed
him was from a new line called "Fever" which may have
had new, unknown chemicals in it that caused a severe reaction.
After his initial reaction, Palmer immediately tried to take
a shower to get the product off his body. When he realized that
the reaction was only getting worse, he panicked and tried to
get out of the shower but collapsed in the bathtub.
The spray caused Palmer's throat and windpipe to swell, rendering
him unable to breathe. According to paramedics, he would have
died were it not for the quick response of his wife, Joanne,
who immediately called for help upon discovering her husband
unconscious.
The paramedics arrived in time to administer adrenaline and
oxygen which helped Palmer to begin breathing again. He was
rushed to the hospital where he eventually recovered, but experts
have been unable to figure out exactly what triggered the reaction.
Interestingly, Palmer makes a living as a motorway maintenance
worker where he deals with chemical sprays all the time. He
explained to reporters that he had never had any sort of allergic
reaction from the chemicals he works with nor with any food
products.
Public health officials were also at a loss for providing any
sort of explanation, indicating that it is rare for a person
to suffer anaphylactic shock after spraying themselves with
deodorant. Nevertheless, the armpits are a sensitive area where
a quick reaction from an allergen is likely to have the worst
effect.
Spokesmen from Lynx expressed regret about the situation, explaining
that they plan to investigate the situation further. According
to the company, Lynx's "Fever" line of deodorants
were tested more rigorously than all their other products.
Many spray deodorants are filled with potentially toxic substances,
some of which can lead to cancer. Since these things are going
to end up in your body, it is important to seek out brands that
do not use toxic chemicals in their formulas and research all
the ingredients before making a decision.
