A member asked:
I know anyone can be allergic to anything at any time, but what really is the likelihood that an adult w/no prev allergy will react to peanut or fish?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not high: Incidence of food allergy among adults hovers below 1% in the general population. I would not be too concerned about something that is unlikely to occur.
