That's not how allergies work. People with allergies get an immune reaction to a harmless compound.

- forgotmypw17 6y agoI don't think you have a clue about how allergies work, with all due respect. A harmless compound can be cross-associated by the immune system just by being correlated with a harmful one. Meaning if something harmful is present in peanuts sometimes but not all the time, the immune system will associate peanut compounds with it and reject peanuts as well.
