“I was recently around peanut butter and I have an allergy. Can I still have a reaction?”
My friend was eating a peanut butter jelly sandwich around me. Normally I would be fine, but this time, I almost felt my throat begin to close. I immediately left the room and away from it. Is it possible that this caused a reaction?

I am a registered dietitian, but from my experience with this, it is very possible. Reactions to food vary and depend on different exposure. Therefore, it is very possible.
