I used to think this gluten allergy thing was a bunch of b.s.

Allergies are so common now that some people think it's just people seeking attention. Being rushed to the ER isn't the kind of attention that anyone wants.

They sometimes use the expression, "Tree nuts or peanuts." From my experience, if someone is allergic to one, he's allergic to both. This must be bad for the peanut butter industry. Imagine being allergic to walnuts but not cashews, etc.
Peanuts are a legume and grow in the ground like other legumes. They are called peanuts because they are nutritionally like a nut. There are also some tree that are legumes, like Mesquite. I am not advocating to throw caution to the wind but for an understand it is important to know.

[quote=jerryc41]A ballet dancer in NYC died after eating cookies that contained peanuts. It was a new formula, and the package hadn't been undated to mention the peanuts. That's a scary situation. When my son was in England, every waiter first asked if he had a peanut allergy.
[i]A 25-year-old British woman died from anaphylactic shock after eating a cookie which did not say it contained peanuts.
Well, I hope her family sued them!

As a pharmacist, I am required to ask and document my patient’s allergies whether they are drugs, food or pollens or even eggs. But I always recommend to the doctor to prescribe an Epi-Pen or Epi-Pen, Jr. People can have a genetic pre-determined condition or develop an allergy over time.
Many people experience a side effect of the medication and presume it is an allergy. It is important to distinguish between the two. In some cases, doctors may be forced to chose a drug less efficacious. If you are unsure of the result, please visit an allergist.

It seems that every visit to a medical facility begins with, "Are you allergic..." So far, I can answer in the negative.

You should be checked by an allergist for similar fruit. You should also get an Epi-Pen for good measure.
