Honestly--I have never heard
Honestly--I have never heard of this happening but am not a scientist or Dr so I really can not say.
I think an allergic reaction from coming into contact with a persons sweat who has eaten an allergen--is more than likely rare at best.
The person would have to eat the allergen protein in the first place and then sweat that protein out and then the allergic individual would have to come into contact with it. Not only come into contact with it but ingest and/or get it into their eyes, nose or mouth if they are allergic via contact that way.
My allergic son plays both soccer and baseball and has yet to have an issue.
Check with your allergist--but I wouldn't worry about it.
Thank you! I didn't think
Thank you! I didn't think so, but I thought I'd ask to see if anyone has had any issues. My son is only 2 1/2, so I'm still very new to all this and am starting to worry about when he'll leave my watchful eye. (He was diagnosed at 13 months old.)

My boys both played soccer, basketball and baseball. My biggest fear was peanut butter on the ball. They are now in their 20's and still play basketball for fun.
There's also a condition called exercise induced anaphylaxis to be aware of. Basically, if you eat something and then exercise, you are more likely to have allergic reaction. It's fairly rare and I'm not a doctor, so you'll have to goolge it for details.
