Death by Weave?

Can weave really kill you? One can probably think of several ways in which hair extension tracks might be used to strangle, choke, or maim someone. [Just kidding on the maiming.]
extensions and also read how to maintain hair extensions, it is as important
However, does the glue really seep into your blood stream and kill you?

Apparently not.

Atasha Graham, age 34, died in England of what appears to be an allergic reaction to the glue that was used to secure her weave in place. After a night of dancing, she collapsed as the sweat caused the seepage that led to the deadly allergic reaction. 

Is this rare?

Somewhat. Dr. Michael Heath, a pathologist, says that, "There are about 10 to 20 deaths a year in this country [England], many more in America. I have seen four in the last three months."
