: Does the form you eat an allergen in effect the reaction itself?

Question

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).
