• A rash may occur where the skin is touched by peanut butter but a dangerous reaction will not result unless the peanut butter enters the mouth, nose, or eyes.

• The rash will get better when washed with soap and water, and when Benadryl® is given.

• Just smelling peanut butter will not cause an allergic reaction because there is no peanut protein in an odor.
