Over the years I have witnessed two severe food-based allergic reactions and I would never want to be responsible for triggering it in anyone. In each case, without aid the person would have suffocated as their throats swelled up. It happened so quickly and in each case they did NOT ingest any nuts. They were just in the vicinity of them.  It is scary.
