smell?.....as in dust or aroma?Curious...is there any other way to be allergic to peanuts? Serious question, I don't know.
18-E - have you ever in your life... hay fever or allergies.unless you have chronic asthma.....I don't believe there are questions that screen for allergies.
I'm thinking you'd be fine to just answer the questions.

OP needs to consult with a competent AME like Dr Chien

Feeding kids dirt once they are old enough to consume solid foods would eliminate all that.![]()
W have a kids at school I'm my daughter's class that had severe pant allergy and it sounds horrific.
Well THAT explains the bottomless kid in her class!![]()
well....there you have it. I must of missed that one.![]()
all of em....Oh? How many other questions did you "accidentally" omit on?![]()

There are contact allergies that produce a reaction on the skin without ingesting. I'm trying to think of foods that cause this but the only one that immediately comes to mind are peppers, anything over 10 on the Scoville meter.Curious...is there any other way to be allergic to peanuts?

I had the thought that a lot of illness isn't new. I wonder if people just used to die and it was just "people die" but now we have a label for everything so it is like Billy has "peanut allergy", "Amy has ADHD". "Tim Has Erectile Dysfunction", etc
I suspect this is a non-issue, and I don't think you need a "specialist" AME to cover this. If you happen to be in Southern California, Dr. John Phillipp, AME in Glendora, is also an allergist, so I'm certain he could steer you on this question.

There are many environmental contact allergies, tho. Example, I'm allergic to lanolin, which means I can't have wool against my skin and have to be careful about lotions such as sun screens.
I've struggled with canker sores for most of my life, it wasn't until recently that I finally figured out peanut butter seems to have been the cause. I finally connected the dots and dropped peanuts and peanut butter and haven't had one in months.
Oh my.....and you never checked yes to 18 (e)?.....![]()
Nope since the cause is unknown.

"In the case of severe allergies, the Examiner should deny or defer certification and provide a report to the Aerospace Medical Certification Division, AAM-300, that details the period and duration of symptoms and the nature and dosage of drugs used for treatment and/or prevention."
You really think the FAA is going to yawn when the word "anaphylactic" comes up?I'm pretty sure that is for cases where someone is on a continuing medication for prevention (i.e., severe hay fever), not for folks with acute exposure issues that are generally preventable.
Do any of you guys ever actually fly?![]()
