You have allergy to peanuts. Allergies occur when your immune system reacts to a foreign body. Foreign body may medicine, pollen, animal dander, dust, peanuts and insect venom etc. When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify a particular allergen as harmful, even though it isn't. The severity of allergies varies from person to person and can range from minor rash to anaphylaxis.
Advice
1. Do not eat peanuts
2. 6. Immediately go to hospital if you have any sign of anaphylaxis such as breathing difficulty, low blood pressure, nausea/vomiting, throat constriction, unconsciousness etc after eating peanuts
