Ok so if someone ate like 6 peanut clusters and was alergic to them, could they die? And how long afterwards?

yes, depending on the severity of their allergy. And they'd die within minutes.

Allergic reactions vary from one person to the next, from nothing to severe and different people react to different things. Reactions can be very quick.
If someone has a severe allergy to peanuts they would need an ambulance long before they got to the 6th cluster. Their eyes & face would start to swell & then their airway. That would lead to breathing difficulties and without urgent help death. Ambulances are equipped to treat people with severe allergic reactions.
The last person I treated had taken one bite of a hazelnut. Help was called very quickly but her condition was urgent when we got there. She survived!

It depends on how severe the allergy was, and if they got medical attention right away, if it was bad enough. But, it's possible if it's not treated. There was a girl who was allergic to peanut butter, and kissed her boyfriend who had peanut butter earlier in the day, and she died from kissing him a couple hours later. So directly eating a peanut butter product could be deadly if not treated, and the person is seriously allergic to peanuts.

They could die if they took one bit of one.
People alergic to peanuts can die just from smelling peanuts.

Nut allergies cause tongue swelling which makes your airway to become compromised and the person literally suffocates from the allergic reaction. People with these allergies would immediately "feel funny" within seconds of ingestion. Death does occur unless they have an epi-pen to inject immediately or get to an Er in time. I have never heard of anyone dying days later-- the allergic reaction is immediate.

I know somebody if they smell peanut-butter strong enough they will have to go on an ambulance to a hospital. If they ate if they would probably die. Some people have it stronger than others.

It just depends on the person and how allergic they are.....some people could just break out in a rash and itch like crazy, some people could have an extreme allergic reaction that could make their airway swell shut. Its really hard to judge, like I said, it all depends on the person. If you are having problems....like a rash take a benadryl or antihistamine like that. But if you are having trouble breathing go to the hospital, or call an ambulance.

Peanut allergy is one of the worst and most rapid.
The throat can swell and breathing can stop in minutes.
If there are any symptoms: difficulty breathing, itching or burning, swelling of the lips, tongue, bumps rising on the body, or the face turning red - call 911. Let them treat you immediately, it's that important. !!!

Depends on how sensitive their allergy was and if they received medical treatment shortly after. It would be different for every person...are you trying to off someone with a peanut allergy?
