peanut allergy
is anything but fun for those affected.

German Allergy and Asthma Association
.
writes: “With the peanut, even
micrograms
can be
enough to
cause life-threatening symptoms

anaphylaxis
in children. ”Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction that can lead to anaphylactic shock with possible
organ
and
circulatory
failure.
Symptoms
of anaphylaxis include:

Peanut Allergy: Sweets are a source of risk for the trigger
"There is hardly any other allergy trigger that makes the diet more complicated," says the association, since peanuts are processed in a wide variety of foods (especially
sweets
) and
can get into other foods
through
shared production facilities
.
The association strongly advises you
to pay attention
to the
list of ingredients
when shopping
, on which peanuts must be listed and highlighted in bold or underlined.
In the case of goods sold in bulk, the legally required labeling of the
14 most common allergy
triggers has applied since December 13, 2014
.
According to information from the association, an average of
one percent
of people in
the USA and Great Britain suffer from
a peanut allergy.
In Germany, the number of those affected is increasing.
