- Peanut Butter Allergy
An allergy to peanut butter is a very bad allergic reaction. It happens when the antibodies that help the body fight off strange proteins in the peanut cause the histamine to come out. Some signs of the reaction are a rash, itchy skin, or hives. Sometimes, the skin gets red and bumpy, mostly on the face and around the mouth, but it can also happen in other places on the body. The reaction can be brought on by eating peanut butter or just coming into contact with it. In severe cases of peanut butter allergy, babies may have a breathing problem called anaphylaxis that can kill them. In this case, the allergic reaction causes the throat to swell up, which makes it hard to breathe because it blocks the airway. It could even cause low blood pressure and a fast heart rate, which could cause the baby to have a shock.
