, for those affected by the allergy. "We have found thousands of other people with peanut allergy." PeanutAllergy.com also addresses issues of concern for those with peanut allergy, such as educating others about the allergy and the many safety issues.

Dr. Wood has some advice for parents of the peanut allergic: "Be ever vigilant avoiding peanuts, and be aware of the possibility of contamination. Be fully prepared to deal with a reaction, because you can never assume a reaction will not occur. Have appropriate medicines, an Epi-Pen and antihistamines, available 100 percent of the time and know how to use them." He says the most important thing to keep in mind about this condition is, " Always remember that peanut allergy can be deadly."
