Peanut allergy is a type of food allergy.
It is a hypersensitivity to dietary substances from peanuts causing an overreaction of the immune system.
As many as one out of five people suffering from peanut allergy
might outgrow it.
The allergy can be triggered by a mere 1/1000 of a peanut and kills
about 100 people a year.
All labels for foods, medicines, cosmetics, creams, and ointments should be read.
Allergic individuals have to attempt to
avoid the remarkable number of products that contain peanuts or
peanut derivatives, including many cookies, cereals, baked goods
and any food cooked utensils recently in contact with peanut oil
or residues.
