Peanut allergy directory

Peanut allergies are responsible for more deaths than any other kind of allergy. Some people with peanut allergies are allergic to all pulses, while other forms of nut allergies include tree nuts such as cashews and walnuts. It does not take very much of the peanut oil or peanut protein to cause an allergic reaction, so sometimes products that are processed on the same equipment as peanuts can contaminate foods, even if there are no peanuts on the ingredients list. Follow the links below to find BootsWebMD's comprehensive coverage of peanut allergies, how to avoid triggers, how they are treated and much more.
