What happens if someone is allergic to peanuts can you still eat them and sit next to them?

Maybe: It is always best to avoid exposing people who are allergic to peanuts to peanut. However, most patients who have peanut allergy need to eat or at least touch the food to have a reaction. The best thin is to ask the person and respect their wishes as peanut allergy can be fatal.
