It is part of every teenager's daily routine, but one Scottish schoolgirl has been given a dire warning that she could die by simply brushing her hair, the Daily Mail reported.

Megan Stewart, from Wishaw, Lanarkshire, dices with death each time she combs her locks or touches balloons because of an extremely rare medical condition.

The 13-year-old suffers from Hair Brushing Syndrome, which was only discovered by her mother as she was getting her daughter ready for her first day at primary six.

Megan's mother, Sharon, described how she discovered her daughter's illness. She said: "I was brushing her hair in the living room when she flopped over and her lips turned blue."

Now, the teenager has to have her hair brushed downwards over the side of her bed and ensure it is damp so she can avoid another seizure.

静电过敏少女梳头就要命

       梳头是女孩每天不可缺少的装扮活动,但有这么一个小女孩,梳个头发都要冒上生命危险。

       据英国《每日邮报》报道,来自苏格兰拉纳克郡威肖的梅根·史都华患有罕见的过敏症,每梳一次头发,或碰一下气球,都在与死神赌命。

       仅有13岁的她患有梳头症候群,是在她升小学6年级第一天被她妈妈发现的。

       梅根的妈妈莎朗描述女儿发病情形时称:“我帮她梳头梳到一半,她突然倒地、嘴唇发青。”

       如今,她只能躺在床上,趁头发还湿答答的时候梳,这样才不会发病。
