Symptoms and Signs and of an allergic reaction to peanuts typically begin shortly following contact, often within minutes. However, the reaction can sometimes be delayed by as long as an hour, and in the case of hypersensitive people, severe anaphylaxis can set in almost instantly.
These symptoms and signs will vary slightly from person to person, but in a reaction they might include:
- Stomach ache
- Itchy eyes
- An itchy skin rash
- Hives
- Runny nose
- Tingling tongue or lips
Those symptoms and signs may begin to lessen, but they may also become substantially more severe and can include:
- A tightening of the throat
- A hoarse voice
- Nausea and/or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Coughing or wheezing
