What is it like when you get a peanut allergic reaction? Actual experience?!
Question: I am severally allergic to peanut butter, when I accidentally ingest peanut butter, my throat begins to itch uncontrollably, my throat begins to close, my lips swell up, my face breaks out, I become extremely itchy, and my body become very hot.The more and more I accidentally ingest it the quicker the reaction occurs, I carry an Epipen for emergencies. Peanut allergies have become increasing common. My first reaction occured when I was 6 years old, I remember it like yesterday. My mom had purchased a "chocolate" chip Cookie for me from a store. I ate it and vomited. Found out later it was peanut butter. My mother claimed that I had eaten peanut butter as a child. I don't ever recall ever eating it. The smell of peanut butter makes my throat itch and I become sick from it's smell. Just a note, if you think that you or someone is allergic to peanut butter make sure that you get some allergy testing done at your doctor's office. I had it done many years later, even though I knew that I was allergic to peanut butter and it also confirmed my other suspicions of being allergic to cashews, almonds, walnuts, soy, fig, kiwi (I know all of these aren't nuts, but can be dangerous), the list goes on and on.

I don't have that allergy, but it might be histamine-related, like most allergies, in which case it becomes hard to breath, like maybe an asthma attack.

You feel like you are going to choke to death because all kinds of mucous gathers in your throat. Your tongue becomes itchy and you want to scratch it with a fork. Sometimes, you break out in hives. In other people it causes swelling of the abdomen and severe diarrhea.
The first signs of a reaction could be a runny nose, a skin rash all over the body, or a tingly tongue. Symptoms can quickly become more serious - including difficulty breathing, swelling of the throat or other parts of the body, rapid drop in blood pressure, and dizziness or unconsciousness. Other possible symptoms include hives, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Symptoms usually appear within a few seconds to 2 hours after ingesting
A sudden, potentially severe allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis, can involve various systems in the body (such as the skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, and cardiovascular system) and can be fatal. Anaphylaxis can cause a person's blood pressure to drop, airways to narrow, and tongue to swell, resulting in serious breathing difficulty, loss of consciousness and, in some cases, even death.
