Uhhh, yes jbug!!

Allergies to peanuts are very serious. Asphyxiation can happen. If you don't watch your diet closely, you seriously need to get an Epi Pen to prevent asphyxiation from occurring followed by an immediate call to 9-1-1.

Sorry, if I've come off poorly. I am very passionate about this topic. I've suffered with chronic hives and angioedema, for about one year, twice now. I've yet to find out the cause of my trigger/s, but I have met many, many sufferers of this dangerous condition. Please do take it seriously. It sucks ~ so I highly recommend following your doctor's orders and avoid peanut butter, peanuts, peanut oils. Read labels to avoid triggering something serious. You have great power ~ please use it!
