Peanuts
Peanut allergy is a common food allergy that occurs when the immune system overreacts to proteins found in peanuts, which are legumes rather than true nuts. It often begins in childhood and can cause a range of symptoms, from mild irritation to severe, life-threatening reactions such as anaphylaxis.
Description
- Hives, redness, or swelling of the skin
- Itching or tingling in or around the mouth and throat
- Digestive problems, such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting
- Tightening of the throat, difficulty breathing, or wheezing
- Runny or congested nose, sneezing
- Anaphylaxis in severe cases
- Other legumes like soybeans, peas, lentils, and beans may cause reactions in some individuals.
- Tree nuts, such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews, due to potential cross-contamination, though cross-reactivity is less common.
- If you or your child experiences symptoms suggestive of an allergic reaction after consuming peanuts or peanut-containing products.
- If there’s a family history of peanut or other food allergies.
- Prior to introducing peanuts into an infant’s diet, especially if there’s a known family history of allergies.

- Read food labels carefully to check for the presence of peanuts.
- Be cautious when dining out, and inform restaurant staff about the peanut allergy to avoid cross-contamination.
- For mild reactions, over-the-counter antihistamines may help alleviate symptoms.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in Europe. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
