I'm lucky though in that as soon as I bite into the food my tongue and mouth flare up as though I'm eating popping candy so I have an early warning.

We had a child who had a severe allergy to peanuts at one of the schools I worked in. He carried an epipen everywhere and we were taught how to use it. Anything remotely peanut related was banned and we were careful with nuts just in case although he didn't appear to be affected by them. Fortunately it was a village school and parents were usually happy to tow the line.
