From the article.
A teenage boy nearly died after vaping caused a catastrophic reaction in his lungs, doctors in Nottingham say.
Is vaping to blame?
His doctors say the answer is yes.
Ewan developed a condition called hypersensitivity pneumonitis - something he was breathing in was setting off his immune system, with catastrophic consequences.
"You get an over-exuberant inflammatory response and the lungs pay a price and develop respiratory failure," Dr Bhatt said.
One of the most common forms of hypersensitivity pneumonitis is "bird fancier's lung", which is caused by particles from feathers or bird droppings.
When scientists tested the two e-cigarette liquids Ewan had been using, they found one of them was triggering an immune reaction.
Just like peanuts vaping in standard for is not for everyone.
----------------------
From me.
This is why I went very quickly to DIY.
Some ingredient(s) in ejuice cause me severe oral, throat and lung irritation. And total loss of taste for a couple of days. This after maybe vaping 2 ml of juice.
Had I not found 1 tobacco flavored ejuice that I could vape I would have gone back to 40 years of smoking.
I have posted about this over the years but no one seemed to care.
It is a thing, rare maybe but a thing.
I learned early on that if my lips tingled after a few hits that it was bad news.
I would up tossing over 80% of the flavors I tried over the years. Fruity flavors seemed to be the worst.
I have no other known allergies. Heck I am not even allergic to poison ivy.
If you have the same ejuice allergy that I do you will quickly figure it out.
