Woman paralysed by love bite
A woman was temporarily paralysed by a LOVE BITE on her neck.
The 44-year-old New Zealander took herself to hospital after losing movement in her left arm while watching television.
Doctors found she had suffered a mild stroke — but were puzzledabout its cause until they found a small bruise on her neck near amajor artery.
She told them it was a love bite she received a few days earlier.
Teddy Wu, of the Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand, said:"Because it was a love bite there would be a lot of suction.
"Because of the physical trauma it had made a bit of bruising inside the vessel.
"There was a clot in the artery underneath where the hickey was."
Wu said the clot dislodged and caused a minor stroke that led to the loss of movement.
He added: "We looked around the medical literature and that exampleof having a love bite causing something like that hasn't been describedbefore."
The medic said the woman recovered after being treated with an anti-coagulant - the sun
