peanut allergy
Groundnut immune reaction
Peanut allergy is an immune system reaction to proteins found in peanuts, ranging from mild symptoms like hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
It is one of the most common and potentially severe food allergies, particularly in children, and typically requires strict avoidance of peanuts and peanut-derived products.
People with severe peanut allergies often carry epinephrine injectors for emergency treatment.
The school banned peanut butter because of students with peanut allergies.
