we all know what love bites are, right? but do you know that these can be dangerous? and girls, i don't mean the situation when your fathers find out about them.
it was reported that a maori woman in new zealand suffered a minor stroke as a result of some vigorous kissing. read here & here.
so, there's a cautionary tale for dating couples & a chance for medical students to impress their examiners & get bonus marks by mentioning neck-kissing as a rare cause of a stroke.

I better watch out for the wife, she's like a vampire sometimes!!
Didn't know that love bites can be dangerous. Maybe the stroke was just waiting for the right moment to strike?
A medical breakthrough! Malaysia needs to catch up.
Our newspapers should report this and warn all the rich tycoons who have written their wife's name as beneficiary of their estate!
Must be kena the vein while suckling too hard!

Mei Teng,
i also think that woman is already prone to have a stroke & it was that love-bite that triggered the process.
Yvonne,
more like a medical warning!
i'm also surprised it's not reported in our mainstream papers.
Birthmark,
more likely, a clot was dislodged from an artery in the neck where the kissing took place.
Yvonne,
it's actually in the last column on page W43 of today's Star.
The reporter read your blog.
Yvonne,
nah...it's also reported in a few other news portals.
Interesting read :)
UG,
you ought to exercise caution!
