(NaturalNews) A teenage girl who died from anaphylactic shock in October was killed by an allergic reaction to her toothpaste, her family has alleged.

Francesca Sanna went into anaphylactic shock while in a car heading out with her friends for the night. She died before she could receive the necessary medical treatment.

Only minutes before the attack, she had brushed her teeth with Aquafresh toothpaste. Her parents have blamed the toothpaste for their daughter's death.

"From the beginning I thought that toothpaste might have contributed to her death," said Sanna's mother Kim. "We always used Aquafresh Mild and Minty, and then the packaging changed. This is when Francesca started to complain of sore teeth and gums - a couple of weeks before she died."

Kim Sanna noted that her daughter had brushed her teeth right before leaving the house.

That's sad. It's always horrible to hear of the death of teenagers.

I don't use that brand, but I'm sure that this is a rare occurrence, so hopefully people won't be alarmed and quit using that brand altogether.

Oh that's a shame. It may just be one of those rare incidents where the chemicals didn't interact well with her blood stream. It's sad that it happened but I don't think anything is ever completely safe. Isn't that why they say to never swallow toothpaste?

Very sad

People can have allergic reactions to many things.

In my family we have some to chemicals but also to some naturals and organics.

The range of allergic reactions range, even on fist exposure.

That is why I feel it is important to listen to our bodies and to listen to our children.

Sometimes when our children are complaining about/or refusing to eat a food they are trying to tell us something important.

Sometime when they are fighting about putting lotion on they are trying to tell us something important.
