This article shows that roasted worse than raw nuts. According to an Oxford University study, roasted peanuts are more likely to trigger an allergic reaction than raw peanuts.

Some can be mild, causing rashes for example, but others can be extremely dangerous, leading to swelling of the mouth and breathing difficulties.

My opinion about this article

I have never heard this finding. I don’t have any allergic reaction, but many friends around me have it. Nowadays, we can see the information of allergic foods on menus or displays at restraunts and supermarket. This information is very good helping for people who have allergic reaction. Moreover, recent scientist’s reseach discovered many findings that are related to allergic foods. The finding which is discribed in this article is one of them. However, many people are distressed by allergies even now. I think the society should still make more efforts about allergic foods.
