Thank you Monty, I have definately thought of going down this route. The thing is I have never had to use my epipen but I have been caught out with a fruit cake. I took one bite and I knew straight away there was something wrong. I found out it had mixed nuts in it, but luckily I didn;t go into anaphylaxis. That was only a couple of years ago so, I do know I still have an allergy but I am just particularly aware now of what i eat and just ask if it has been cooked in peanut oil. This is only asked if it happens to be thai, chinese etc which I don't eat anyway really. The specialist has told me that a peanut allergy is different from other allergies in so far as it actually gets worst as you get older.....but as I have said, I have never had an anaphylactic shock so I just hope that they take that into consideration...
