She said: “I was in for a few hours.
“They pumped me with antihistamine and adrenaline.”
Kyleigh, who is from the US but lives in York, was diagnosed with her allergy aged ten.
She said: “Public transport is like playing Russian roulette with five bullets in a chamber.
“If I take a train, I wear a mask.
“I was on the Underground and people were chewing gum.
“All they have to do is just walk past me and that sets me off.”
She added: “It took two years to find a toothpaste brand that was safe.
“I wasn’t brushing my teeth for all of that time.”
