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).

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.
