A member asked:
Can eating peanuts before going to sleep choke you ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If a person had a : Peanut allergie - expect that their airway could swell. If a person was popping peanuts while supine in bed, suspect that they might accidentally aspirate one. But if you don't have a peanut allergy, and chewed peanuts prior to going to bed, don't see how it would choke you. Take care.
