Nurse Kim Walker Whips Off Her Killer Primark Knickers
KIM Walker went into severe anaphylactic shock after “squeezing into a pair of tummy-slimming pants”.
The Sun says Walker bought her big knickers in a Primark shop. The near-death experiences keep on coming.
Walker, a nurse, noticed a rash appear while on duty. Says the paper: “Kim whipped the knickers off and tried to control the reaction with anti-histamine tablets.”
She had to be injected with adrenalin as her “throat closed and she gasped for breath”.
Says Walker: “Anaphylactic shock is life-threatening. Luckily, I was in A&E and got adrenalin. I can laugh now but it was very scary when I couldn’t breathe. It will be quite a tale to tell my two-year-old daughter when she’s older – mummy’s mad pants episode.”
Such is the security in our hospitals we imagine the incident was caught on CCTV camera. Should the Sun obtain a copy and feature it on its website, we imagine many readers will appreciate the health and safety message as a nurse removes her knickers.
If Walker can pose for the paper holding her killer knickers in an aggrieved manner, then so very much the better for the family album…

Well - this is not so funny - but quite serious - and it could happen to you! I bought a pair of fabric shoes (chinese) and within 20 minutes of putting them on - had the most frightening allergic reaction - not anaphylactic shock - but most terribly unpleasant. I tracked down the symptoms to poisoning from one of the pyrethrins which are used extensively in China in the fabric and export industry.
