Question : Hello, can peanut intoxication be transferred sexually?

Answered by Dr. Kiran Kumar (3 hours later)

Hi,

In medical science, peanuts are associated with two toxicity.
1. Salmonella Poioning - Which spreads through contaminated peanuts through oral route.
2. Allergy and Anaphylaxis.

None of the above two are sexually transmitted.

If you have any other specific query, please get back with more information.
Will await your response.

Thanks and Regards

Dr Kiran
