If someone is allergic to pickles, and they eat a sandwich that had pickles but someone took the pickles off, can they still get sick? Someone did that at my job and I was just curious.

Yes.....if someone is HIGHLY allergic to something (I am to peanuts) then if the food that they are allergic to comes in contact with a food that they are going to eat....they can get sick...sometimes very sick. That is also why when you read food labels it sometimes says "this food is manufactured in a facility that processes............." Things can get cross contaminated. Certain individuals cant be near someone who is eating a product that they are allergic to. It depends on the person...but risk's should never be taken on this matter. It is very serious...some people with food allergies have to carry medicine around with them to be on the safe side

This has happened to me. A friend took almonds off her sandwich and then the tomatoes. She gave me the tomatoes..within an hour I was having a food allergy reaction (I'm highly allergic to almonds). This was all just from her hands having contact with the almonds AND my food.

Yes they "could" get very sick or nothing at all could happen. It really depends on the intensity of their allergy. If this happened to me with my allergy to peanuts I would probably have a mild reaction, but nothing serious, on the other hand some people may go into annaphylaxsis shock, in which their throat may swell and begin the close.

It depends on how sensitive the person is to the substance he/she is allergic to. Sometimes the tiniest bit, like a drop of juice, can set off a reaction. I have a friend who is that sensitive to strawberries. She won't take anything off a plate that had one strawberry on it for decoration.

The first two answerers answered your question correctly. However, I have to add that some people are so sensitive to the substances they are allergic to, they can't be in the same room with the allergen.

to be on the safe side if you are highly sensitive to any food, drug, latex, you should consider keeping an Epipen close by. This is a self injection of epinephrine. Especially if you have ever had an episode of anaphylaxis (sp.) shock and was taken to the ER.

No. I have a cousin that is allergic to brazil nuts. He starts having a reaction if he's just in the same room as the nuts.

The sensitivity of allergies would be the big issue here...could be as simple as the juice of the pickles..i would'nt chance it.
