I hope it doesn't become an issue. The progression of my allergy started with peanut butter making me feel like my throat was tight to not being able to eat the peanut itself. I always broke out with Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets but not McDonald's. We thought it was the chicken and I am allergic to chicken that is not organic.

Last year I began developing allergy symptoms and then asthma attacks whenever anyone in the same room would anything containing peanuts, peanut butter or peanut oil. I can't even eat that Sunbutter without feeling the same sensations. But peanuts and peanut butter make my throat itchy and that's when I get the asthma. But this took several years to get to this point.
