Peanut death from a crisp

-

A WOMAN allergic to peanuts died after eating a peanut-flavoured crisp.

Georgina Hickman, 24, had checked the packet but nuts were not listed.

She ate just one crisp, saying they were “horrible”, then had a severe allergic reaction that starved her brain of oxygen, an inquest in Winchester was told.

A doctor said Georgina, from Southampto­n, showed all the symptoms of a peanut allergy.

Verdict: Accident.
