Posted February 3, 2012 by The Decider for Global Grind Staff

Did glue from hair extensions kill a London woman? Apparently so.

Doctors in London believe that Atasha Graham, 34, died from a possible allergic reaction to the adhesive used to apply her weave.

After a night at the club where he boyfriend DJs, Graham collapsed and it is believed that the sweat from her dancing may have allowed glue to enter her blood stream, in turn causing the deadly chemical reaction.

Although the specific cause of death has not been linked to the toxic glue, Pathologist Dr. Michael Heath isn’t ruling it out, explaining to the London Southwark Coroner's Court that this is not the first time he has seen deaths linked to extension glue.

"There are about 10 to 20 deaths a year in this country, many more in America. I have seen four in the last three months," Heath said.

According to the Daily Mail, Coroner Christopher Williams recorded a verdict of death by natural causes as he said it was not possible to identify conclusively a link with a particular allergen that caused her to go into shock.

Williams said:

“She had an allergic reaction to something as the level of tryptase in her body was 178 micrograms, but we are not able to identify what the specific agent was that that caused this reaction.”

Graham's tragic story should hit home to many women who still use the toxic glue while weaving their hair.
