Teenager dies from stroke 'caused by love bite from his girlfriend'

A Mexican teenage boy is reportedly died from a stroke that is understood to have been caused by a love bite from his girlfriend.

According to the local media, the 17 years old Julio Macias Gonzalez, started having convulsions while eating dinner with his family in Mexico City after spending an evening with his 24-year-old girlfriend.

Paramedics were called, but the boy died at the scene.

The Mexican media reported, doctors believe the suction of the love bite resulted in a blood clot, which travelled to Mr Gonzalez’s brain and caused the stroke.

The boy’s parents blamed his girlfriend for the death, and she is thought to be in hiding. The family said that, they had disapproved of the seven year age difference between their son and his girlfriend, but he had refused to break up with her.

Earlier in 2011, a 44-year-old woman from New Zealand experienced loss of movement in her left arm and was taken to hospital. The doctors suspected she had a stroke but couldn’t work out why, until they noticed a bruise on the right side of her neck, left by a love bite.

They concluded the suction from the love bite had damaged a major artery and formed a blood clot, which travelled to her heart and caused a minor stroke.

She noticed the symptoms later, while sitting watching television.

The woman was treated by Dr Teddy Wu at Auckland’s Middlemore Hospital. He reported the case in a medical journal. “To my knowledge, it's the first time someone has been hospitalized due to a hickey," he said at the time, using the American term for a love bite.

Dr Wu said that, if the woman had not been treated quickly she could have suffered further strokes. 'Strokes have different levels of severity,' he said, 'but possibly patients can become paralyzed.'
