Is it okay to touch seeds if you have a seed allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: Most significant food allergic reactions occur after ingestion of the particular food. Also, a reaction may occur after touching the lips or tongue. It would be unlikely for an allergic reaction to occur from simply touching it with your hands. However, always good to wash hands after touching the food.
