A month or so ago my bf bought me a bag of peanuts from the peanut factory in Philly. I started eating them and had a hard time talking. My voice got really hoarse. Tryed to get something to drink but it didn't work. Today I had a couple peanut and my voice and throat got the same way. Does this mean Im allergic to peanuts? Ive never had it happen to me before. Why now? If anything is allergic to them would you be able to tell me what happens? thanks for any help.

I don't know...check with your doctor to be safe.

Go to an allergist and get checked. I am allergic to nuts, and if I eat them, I'll die. My throat will close up, and my hands swell up. It's pretty scary. You should know for sure if you're allergic, so you can keep yourself safe. Good luck!

it is not allergy.
the symptoms of allergy are totally different from this.
the only problem was your body was not able to take in the peanuts box they HIV lot of fib re.
you will be able to eat peanuts a few days later.

The symptoms vary greatly. You need to get an Pepin PRONTO!

The first time you are exposed to an allergen like this is usually not as severe as the next time. The next time, your body might freak out and you very well might die. I hate to put it that bluntly but don't play around with this issue. Go to the doctor and tell him your symptoms. Ask for an Pepin while making sure it does not conflict with any other medications you are on.

Allergies can pop up at any moment in any age of life. The earlier you get the allergy, the more likely you are to build a tolerance to it, but not always. When I first discovered I was allergic to peanuts it sucked. I did not get your symptoms with the peanuts, rather it just made me really sick to the point where I would throw anything peanut related up and if a peanut product came in contact with my skin I would get hives in that area. Even the smell would make me nauseous. Now I can deal with the smell, but nothing more.

Usually if you have one allergy you probably have other allergies. In my case, there are an unknown amount of factors that can break me out into hives - that is I never will know what I am allergic to until I come into contact with it. Before my throat never swelled when I came across allergens, but during my last outbreak, my throat did swell a little and it freaked me out. A hoarse throat is a sign that something is going on! I got an Pepin and now carry my Pepin with me at all times. It seriously saves lives.

Don't play! Get yourself tested and checked out today. Its better to be safe than sorry. You'll know for sure if it really is an allergy or what the previous user said.

I actually know two people who are allergic to peanuts. They get the same reaction that you did, and worse.

My 5 yearly old nephew had to be taken to the hospital because he ate food that was cooked in peanut oil.

And a co-worker who's allergic to peanuts can't even stand the smell of them. I wan enjoying some peanut M&M's and he said the smell of the peanuts was making him sick.

Peanut allergy is a real condition. Please consult a doctor.
