Symptoms

By Mayo Clinic staff
An allergic response to peanuts usually occurs within minutes after exposure, and signs and symptoms range from mild stomach or skin reactions to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that can constrict the airways and block breathing.
Common symptoms
Signs and symptoms of peanut allergy can include:

• Skin reactions such as hives, redness or swelling
• Itching or tingling in or around the mouth and throat
• Digestive problems such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea or vomiting
• Tightening of the chest
• Shortness of breath or wheezing
• Runny or stuffy nose

Anaphylaxis
Peanut allergy is the most common cause of anaphylaxis, a medical emergency that requires treatment with an epinephrine (adrenaline) injector (EpiPen, Twinject) and a trip to the emergency room. Signs and symptoms start soon after consuming peanuts and can include:

• Constriction of airways, including a swollen throat that makes it difficult to breathe
• Shock, with a severe drop in blood pressure
• Rapid pulse
• Dizziness, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness
