Question

Is it safe to eat out if you have a severe peanut allergy?

Answer 1

Peanut allergy seems to be one of the worlt kinds.  If it were me,

I would not chance it.  There are too many ways peanuts or the

oil can be processed into various foods.  I knew a person who

almost died just because the same shelling equipment that was

used to shell walnuts,,,,was used to shell the peanuts,  some of

which she ate.

Answer 2

It would be a good idea to keep an antihistamine with you, and eat a small amount of anything that was suspicious to see if there is a reaction.  Most peanut allergic people will have itching in their mouth if soy-legume is present.  BTW peanut oil is OK, it's the protein that gets you.

Answer 3

of course it is. when you order make sure you always ask the waiter what the ingredients are in the meal-be specific. (ie. what type of oil is used, any nuts, ect...) Also, inform the waiter about your allergy and specify how serious it is. the last thing the restaurant wants is to have you eat a nut! also, if you are eating with friends or family, ask them not to order anything with nuts as well. Be sure to do your partt too, by choosing meals you know are very unlikely to have nuts in them.

Dont let your allergy take control of your life. i know the risks are always high but you still have to live a bit. take some caution yes, but also have fun!

hope this has helped somewhat. bon apetit!

Answer 4

Probably not. You could never be sure there were not peanuts or peanut oil in someone else's food in the kitchen.
