A teenager has reportedly died after getting a love bite from his girlfriend that caused him to have a stroke, British media report.

Julio Macias Gonzalez started having convulsions at the dinner table with his family in Mexico City after spending an evening with his girlfriend.

Paramedics were dispatched to the scene but the 17-year-old could not be saved.

It is thought that the suction of the love bite caused a blood clot that travelled to Julio’s brain and caused him to have a stroke.

His 24-year-old girlfriend has now disappeared and the boy’s parents are apparently now blaming her for his death.

While it is an unusual occurrence what happened with the Mexican teen is not completely unprecedented.

In 2010, an Auckland woman was left partially paralysed by a love bite from her partner. The 44-year-old woman lost all movement in her left arm, leading doctors to suspect that she had suffered a stroke. However, the only visible injury doctors could find was a faint love bite on the right of her neck near an artery.
