Is it safe to eat just 1 reeses cup with a peanut allergy, or just 1 small bite?

I dont have a peanut allergy. But what about people that do have peanut allergies? Can they have a "cheat meal" as in just very little peanut butter?

    Absolutely not.  I recently read a case where a girl bit a muffin made with pecans.  She didn't swallow any of it.  She immediately spit it out, but it was too late.  Her throat swelled up, and she choked to death.  Just the SMELL of nuts could kill people.

    No.  Someone who had a severe peanut allergy could die from eating one of those things.

    Not unless they plan to die.

    It depends on the severity of the allergy. Some people can't even eat anything that has touched the food they are allergic too.

    Better safe than sorry, there's no such a thing as a "cheat meal" when you are allergic to something.

    Nope. Even breathing in peanut dust would kill them.

    Allergic reactions to peanuts can be very strong, and it doesn't take a lot to need to go to the emergency room.

    You know, they could just avoid peanuts.
