A famous film star, was rushed to hospital and given a life-saving adrenaline injection, having gone into extreme shock. 

She recalls: “At that moment, I was having a party at my house and ordered a dish which had some shrimps.” I ate a shrimp and suddenly felt my face blowing up – thank God this was at a time in my home – and quickly took myself off into the bedroom to check what was happening. “My face was quickly expanding by the minute. We called the doctor, who told me to get to the Beverly Hills hospital, and I was immediately raced there in the car.”

“When I arrived, my face had blown up to three times its size. I looked like a football. My eyes were sealed up and my tongue was so swollen, I couldn’t swallow. It was the most frightening experience of my life. Two doctors dragged me out of the car and gave me a shot of adrenaline – the most near-death experience I’ve ever had. I very seriously nearly died.”

“I’ve been tested since then and still have the allergy to everything fishy so I still have to be very careful about what I eat.” 

While around one in 200 people have been diagnosed with a fish allergy, only a relatively small percentage of them suffer extreme shock like Joan.
