    Exposure to peanuts or traces of peanuts may cause immediate reactions, such as itching, redness, swelling, shortness of breath, wheezing, nausea, abdominal pain, lightheadedness or loss of consciousness (anaphylaxis).The chemicals in peanuts can cause hives to develop on the areas of your skin that have come in contact with peanuts or traces of peanuts. Hives may spread to the rest of your body.

    * Wheezing

    * Rapid or weak pulse

    * Blueness of your skin, including your lips and nail beds

    * Diarrhea

    * Nausea and vomiting

    * Dizziness

    * Loss of consciousness

    Your symptoms dont describe any peanut butter allergy!
