A member asked:

What causes you to have dark chocolate allergies?

Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Milk or peanut: Allergy to chocolate is usually a reaction to milk or a nut/peanut ingredient. True chocolate allergy to the cacao bean is unusual but seen more common in workers who process the beans rather than consumers who eat chocolate.
