are to PIC. Apparently peanuts give of a dust that some are very
allergic to (learn something new everyday). He did use a spoon once
that had been used for peanut butter and apparently not cleaned well
enough and he dropped to the floor.

Allergic reactions can also be psychogenic, which bodes even worse for
obtaining a medical.

BTW: This is a well known allergy. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/peanut-allergy/DS00710

"Peanut allergy affects approximately 1.5 million people in the United
States. As the most common cause of life-threatening allergic
reactions (anaphylaxis), peanut allergies account for 80 percent of
fatal or near-fatal allergic reactions each year. You can reduce your
risk of having an allergic reaction to peanuts by knowing as much as
you can about peanut allergy and how to avoid peanut-containing
products."
