Just curious if the different forms of food people eat can effect an allergic reaction differently. To give an example, someone with a peanut allergy eating a single full peanut (one form) vs a bite of some peanut butter on bread (another form).

I know with eggs it matters somewhat. we’ve had kids at the daycare I work at who are allergic to eggs. So no scrambled eggs, fried eggs, etc. but they were able to have foods that had eggs baked in to em.
I became allergic to milk when I was about 16/17. I can’t eat chocolate, drink milk, without my throat and mouth becoming very itchy. but I can eat cheese, even melted cheese or nacho cheese. No problem. Pizza, sliced cheese, I’ve made Mac n cheese with heavy cream.
I don’t understand it.
I can eat cooked spinach. The two times I ate raw spinach in a salad, it made me so sick I wanted to die. Puking and diarrhea at the same time, until every molecule was gone. So, my answer would be yes.
It depends on what they’re allergy is: My daughter has oral allergy syndrome but it only surfaces with raw foods because the protein she’s allergic to is altered when the plant is cooked (sometimes) so she often has no reaction if it’s well cooked. If she tired to eat a raw pineapple she’d get an itchy throat and swollen lips; however, she can eat bbq pineapple on a kebab no problem.
My brother in law is allergic to shellfish and simply touching a cooked or uncooked shellfish is enough to stimulate a mild reaction. If he were to eat it he’d need an epipen and strong antihistamine and maybe a hospital visit.
