Overview

• The woman, originally from Colombia, sought medical help immediately after being bitten by the family hamster.
• She collapsed just outside the hospital entrance and despite resuscitation efforts, she could not be revived.
• An autopsy is being conducted to confirm if the hamster bite directly caused her death or if pre-existing conditions played a role.
• Allergic reactions to hamster bites are extremely rare, but can lead to severe outcomes like anaphylactic shock.
• The incident has prompted psychological support for the woman's children, who were present during the ordeal.
