Hi, I’m Hannah and I have severe, potentially life-threatening allergies (“anaphylaxis”) to peanuts, tree nuts, sesame, and legumes/pulses. When I was a baby I reacted to peanut butter, and then when I was 5 years old (16 years ago!) I experienced an allergic reaction to a sesame seed roll while on a holiday in Portugal. After this reaction to sesame, I’ve had several tests done and now carry epipens with me wherever I go for use in the event of a reaction. I’ve been very cautious in the way that I live after these experiences, and have been very lucky not to have had any further reactions.
