An allergy to peanuts is one of the most serious food allergens. Even tiny amounts can cause a life-threatening reaction. Peanut allergies have been increasing in children in recent years. Even if you only have a mild reaction to this ingredient, you should talk to your doctor since you may have more severe reactions in the future.
Common symptoms of a peanut allergy can range from mild to severe, and may include hives, redness, swelling, itching or tingling in the mouth or throat, diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, tightening of the throat, shortness or breath or wheezing, and runny nose. Symptoms of anaphylaxis, which is life-threatening, include constriction of airways, swelling of the throat, a severe drop in blood pressure, rapid pulse, dizziness, lightheadedness, and loss of consciousness. These symptoms constitute a medical emergency.
