Espresso Overdose

By Alex in Health on Aug 14, 2007 at 2:26 pm

Here’s why it’s a bad idea to drink too much coffee:

Jasmine Willis, 17, developed a fever and began hyperventilating after drinking seven double espressos while working at her family’s sandwich shop.

The student, of Stanley, County Durham, was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham, where doctors confirmed she had overdosed on caffeine.

She has since made a full recovery and is now warning others about the dangers of excessive coffee drinking.

    isn’t that like the same thing they warn you on the back of some energy drinks, like cocaine, to not drink it all in one go? but to drink it slow over a period of time… it’s so you don’t overdose?

    How in blue blazing barnacles does a person work in a sandwich shop that serves espressos and NOT know how much caffeine is in each one!? Egads!

    Dopey chick. She’s got years of study before she can get her barista’s license I guess.
