Nigerian Boy Narrowly Escapes Death After Drinking Juice

An elated mother has taken to Facebook to share her joy and warn other parents to be very vigilant of what their children or wards consume.

According to Ifunanya Nwadike, her son had a close encounter with death after he consumed a fruit juice, which she never knew he was allergic to.

 Chibuikem had drank a satchel of viva pineapple juice, within the twinkle of en eye, he felt unease, which later progressed into vomiting of blood, severe skin irritation and lip bleed; which doctors later diagnosed to be STEVEN JOHNSON SYNDROME.

Here is what Ifunanya Nwadike posted:

Well wishers commenting on her post were quick to ask if she took a look at the package, probably her son drank an expired juice. She responded that she had checked it through, it wasn't expired and it had a NAFDAC number.
