I developed an allergy to peanuts in my early 40's. Which, by the way, sucks hard 'cuz it makes having a nutter-nanner sammich (peanut butter and banana sandwich) kinda hard. However, my life has gotten better with the discovery of Sun Butter (standard disclaimers. It is made from sunflower seeds in a certified nut-free facility, unlike my house if you know what I mean. Now I can have sun-nanner sammiches.
