I find that kind of strange. Maybe csi should look into that.

That's a heck of a thing for the boyfriend to live with.

Sad.

But at least it wasn't due to licking some envelopes.

Wow. Things like this always remind me to be thankful for having normal health. I'm not allergic to anything. It's hard to imagine dying from peanut butter.

This kind of freaks me out. My little one is allergic to peanuts. There is no way to tell how allergic they are, until they are exposed.

Does anyone remember peanut allergy scares in the 60's ... or 70's ... or 80's? Seems to me this is a relatively new thing.

WE didn't find out till our son was 16 he was extremely allergic to the Brazil Nut. He nearly died with that reaction.

Now, he could eat peanuts, so one day he picked some peanuts out of a can of "mixed nuts" and went into an immediate reaction AGAIN. The Doctor said that just a tiny bit of the oil residue from the Brazil nut got on the peanuts and that's all it took. He was deathly ill for days, without even ingesting the nut itself.

It's very scary, people.

So, why didn't the adrenaline stop the allergic response?

I went into anaphalactic shock once, and that's what they gave me.

I have worked as a school nurse and it is sooooo important that everyone knows about this. If we have child in school that has food allergy we notify everyone and tell them what to do in case of a problem. Teachers, cafeteria workers, school bus drivers all know. The cafeteria workers make sure the table is cleaned before the child with the allergy sits at the table. We teach everyone how to use the epi-pen and then call 911. Please parents you need to educate your children's friends and their parents. The kids friends even at young ages are very responsible with this.

My husband is that allergic to bananas and he doesn't allow them in the house and though I have eaten them it is very rare. I never thought about a kiss killing him. Hmmmmmmm.

Peanuts don't bother me but I have varying reactions to many kinds of fresh fruits and veggies. About the only safe fruits for me to eat are citrus and apples -- and even then, not much.

With fresh veggies I am pretty much limited to lettuce, cabbage, and carrots. Strangely, I don't have any problems with them after they are cooked.

The very worst is avocado. Just the slightest touch of guacamole or any avocado product is enough to make my throat swell shut in less than a minute. Fortunately I am very suspicious of anything that might contain avocado products and stay very far away from them.

Allergic reactions can be amazingly fast. That makes them even more scary.

It quickly became clear the 15-year-old girl succumbed to a peanut allergy _ not from nuts she ate, but a peanut-butter sandwich her boyfriend had consumed before kissing her that day.

Wow. Sorry about the girl and prayers to the parents, but frankly, those genes were too weak to be passed on.

Are peanut allergies something that children grow out of? I almost never hear about adults with peanut allergies.

What if your diesel truck is burning bio diesel from peanut oil? There's going to be a lot of dead pedestrians and drivers!
