    To be honest, with something as severe as possible peanut allergy, you want it to be done in a medical centre with a canula in place for quick administration of whatever's necessary. Your first step should be to talk to your doctor.

    You can get loads of information at https://www.anaphylaxis.org.uk too. I have a relative with peanut allergy and it needs professional help and monitoring. Good luck.
