Cumin allergy?

I know this is really late to comment.lol. I just found out today that I have an allergy to cumin. I made vegetarian chili for a Chanukah party on Thursday (never made this recipe ever)and one of the ingredients was "cumin". The chili was a hit. It was delicious! The next day I had leftovers and I started to notice after an hour passed my ears were itching severely. Then another hour passed and the back of my neck was itching and my scalp and then I was covered in hives! It was uncontrollable itching. I suffered though it for three days. Then finally my feet were burning from the hives. So enough was enough! Went to the doctor. I lfted my shirt and she said "Oh my G-d!! What did you eat?!" I said I made chili and and I used "cumin" I've never used this spice ever. She said that's exactly what it is. So no more "cumin" for me. I wish this on no one! Hope this helped.

Oh! she gave me steroids that I have to take for 14 days! But it's working!!!

It is also a possibility that the cumin was cross contaminated with peanuts during manufacturing. But hope you stay from the cumin. I have heard of other PA people having a reaction to this spice. It is part of the parsley food family.
