A member asked:
I have a shellfish allergy and put my hands in my jacket pockets while leaving the restaurant. did washing the jacket remove all allergen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Would not expect any allergen to survive washing. Are you concerned about airborn allergen that may have deposited onto the jacket while you were eating? I applaud your vigilance, but rest easy that you are out of harm's way with regard to that particular evening.
