I'm allergic to peanuts, but don't have any problem with almonds. They usually come with an alarmist warning that they're processed in a facility that might possibly touch peanuts sometime, but the equipment is cleaned in between product runs and I've never had a problem. At home, I eat Blue Diamond almonds because they don't carry the warning and aren't made in a facility that ever comes close to peanuts.

I don't die from peanuts - I just become violently ill and projectile vomit if I eat anything with peanuts or peanut oils in it. Since I prefer to avoid barfing all over people (we're talking bazooka style here - it's not pretty) I ask that the airline not serve me anything with peanuts in it. Occasionally they overreact to this request, but I'd rather see them do this than inadvertently kill someone. Peanut allergies are no joke - I wasn't allergic when I was a kid, but they really mess me up now.
