Peanut allergy is one of the worst allergies, and both adults and children can have it. The reactions and the symptoms might be severe or mild. Every person has a different immune system, and peanut, tree nut, and seed allergies can cause a wide range of mild to severe signs and symptoms. Many people with food allergies don't have severe symptoms, but for some people, food allergies can be life-threatening and should be taken seriously. Our common usage of the phrase "nut allergy" to denote an intolerance to the peanut, seed, or tree nut might be misleading because these foods are not closely related. Peanuts are related to chickpeas and peas, while almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, and walnuts are all types of tree nuts. Sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, and coconuts are all types of seeds. Although some children with peanut allergies may see their symptoms improve over time, for others the allergy may only worsen with exposure. Even if someone is allergic to peanuts, they might not also be allergic to tree nuts or seeds. Peanut, tree nut and seed allergies can cause a wide range of symptoms, from mild ones to anaphylaxis, which is a severe allergic reaction. If you are allergic to nuts, you might get hives, a runny nose, cramps, feel sick, or throw up. If you have an allergy to peanuts, tree nuts, or seeds, the best thing to do is to avoid all products that contain these foods. Peanuts, tree nuts, and seeds are among the most common foods that cause life-threatening allergic responses in those who are allergic to foods. 
Some people have bad reactions to food that aren't caused by allergies, like getting a headache or feeling full. These can be brought on by things like food poisoning, toxic reactions, or sensitivity to certain foods (intolerance). People often think that these are allergic reactions, even though they are not. If you go to an allergist, a peanut allergy treatment can make it much less likely that you will have an allergic reaction. People in Atlanta and all over the country put their health at risk by ignoring the most common signs. If you or your child have any of the following symptoms after eating peanuts, you should talk to an allergist in your area. Even though there are some common signs of a peanut allergy, the symptoms could be very mild, or they could be so bad that they could kill you. Before an allergic reaction gets too bad, mild symptoms can include:
- Hives are raised red bumps on the skin (urticaria)
- lips that are swollen
- a tingling feeling in the mouth and throat
- itchiness and a rash
- runny nose
- a constriction of the throat
- Cramps, stomach pain, feeling sick, or throwing up are all digestive symptoms.
Symptoms of a mild to moderate peanut allergy can be uncomfortable and upsetting, but they should go away pretty quickly. The worst allergic reaction is called anaphylaxis, and it can happen. These are some of the signs of a severe allergic reaction:
- hard or noisy to breathe
- tongue enlargement
- The throat swells or gets tight.
- Talking is hard or you have a hoarse voice.
- wheeze or cough for a long time
- persistent dizziness or collapse
- Young children often look pale and flabby.
Anaphylaxis needs treatment right away and helps from emergency services. People who are at risk of anaphylaxis usually carry an epinephrine auto-injector with them so they can give themselves adrenaline in an emergency. By making the immune system less sensitive to peanut proteins in the body, treatments like peanut allergy desensitization can lower the risk of anaphylaxis. The symptoms of a peanut allergy are hard to predict, which makes it more important to get a diagnosis and treatment. Even though you may have had some mild reactions after eating peanuts, this doesn't mean that a future reaction will be the same. Because of this, you should avoid eating anything with peanuts until you've talked to a board-certified allergist. About 200,000 people in the US need emergency medical care every year because of a food allergy. Also, the number of kids with food allergies has been going up over the last few decades. So, if you and your kids want to stay healthy, it's important to pay close attention to the signs of a peanut allergy. If you have any of the above symptoms, you should see an allergist find out what's wrong. A quick diagnosis can be made with the help of food allergy tests and a conversation about how you feel after eating peanuts. 
The next step is to figure out how to move forward, including how to treat and manage the allergy. And remember that peanut allergies don't have to be as hard as they used to be because there are effective treatments like oral immunotherapy If you or someone you care about has had any of these symptoms after eating peanuts, tree nuts, or seeds, the chance of having a severe reaction after eating that food may be higher than usual. Ask your doctor to send you to a specialist in clinical immunology or allergies. Write down the signs of an allergy to nuts. It can be hard to tell if someone has an allergy. If you think you or a child in your care might have an allergy, writing down the symptoms can help you and your doctor figures out what is causing them. Write down the symptoms and when and where they happen in a diary. In your diary, you could write down if any of the following happen:
- inside or outside your house, or both
- short-term or long-term
- when you wake up, at night, or during the day
- after you eat or drink a certain thing,
- after you have taken a medicine made from plants.
Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction. Peanuts and tree nuts are two of the foods most likely to cause a life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. If you or someone you care for has anaphylaxis or a severe allergic reaction, call to get an ambulance. 
- Do not stand or walk.
- If you have one, inject adrenaline into the outer middle of the thigh.
- If there is no response after 5 minutes, more adrenaline can be given.
- First, give the adrenaline shot, and then, if needed, the puffer for asthma relief.
