[quote=Anonymous]To OP, how did your child get diagnosed with peanut allergy? Have they done a blood test? If so, what peanut protein is your child allergic to? If it's Ara h8, perhaps there isn't a likely chance of needing the Epi-pens but I am not an allergist, so you should consult yours. See here https://www.carolinaasthma.com/blog/so-someone-in-your-family-has-peanut-allergy/: Three of the peanut proteins, Ara h1 (the Ara h is an abbreviation for peanut’s botanical name), Ara h2, and Ara h3 have been most closely linked to serious peanut allergic reactions. People who are primarily allergic to Ara h8, on the other hand, usually only have an itchy mouth or slight mouth swelling from eating peanuts.[/quote]
