My boyfriend has a peanut allergy, how soon after eating them can I kiss him?

Question 1
My boyfriend has a peanut allergy, how soon after eating them can I kiss him?...  My boyfriend is severely allergic to nuts, and any oils they produce. I'm aware that this means that if I want to kiss him I need to stop eating nuts as well. However, I just ate something containing them by mistake and I need to know how long I now need to wait until I can kiss him again. How long do the oils stay in your saliva? Is there anything else I need to know?

Answers
1)   Well unless you plan on spitting them back out into his mouth or you have retained the oils in your mouth, I wouldnt worry about it! Brush your teeth or use some mouthwash, that should clean all those nuts away! - Stephen

2)   Unless he is allergic to the smell I would wait a week. - Luis N

3)   Rinse your mouth. And wait about a half an hour before kissing him. Hope it works.-) - Ivana

4)   if it is severe I would not come close to him all day, without brushing my teeth and drinking some water. you don't want to kill him do you - jim

5)   Your going to have to quit eating peanuts. Or get a "May contain peanuts" tattoo on your forehead so he will know to steer clear of you in the future. - Bi Curious George

6)   i also am severely allergic to nuts but never thought of this situation before. i would recommend brushing your teeth, rinsing very well with water, and/or chewing gum. and (just guessing here) but at least an hour or two before you kiss em! don't kill him :) - matt

7)   wait at least a day......floss too - richard t

8)   So is mine, and I love peanut butter more than anything else in this world. I just swish some water and spit it out, then chew some gum for a minute and it's usually fine. His mouth always gets itchy afterward but there's no way to prevent that unless you brush your teeth. Waiting won't help much. I had peanut butter on my pancakes one morning and when I got off work that night he could still tell. I know that's kind of gross lol but if he's severely allergic, he'll be effected by even the smallest amount. - Jenny from the block

9)   My little sister is severely allergic to peanuts too. She can't even be in the same room of an open peanut butter jar. If it happened just now I would wait until maybe tomorrow night. Just to have different food wash down the oils and whatnot. Also, I would recommend flossing and mouthwash on top of brushing your teeth. Upon researching allergies, I read an article about a couple where one of them was allergic, and the other accidentally had a piece of peanut stuck in between their teeth and it got into the other persons mouth when they kissed and the other person went into anaphylactic shock... So just make sure your mouth is super clean. :D
If the package just said "May contain peanuts" then it might be a little better. But I'd still be super careful. Wash your mouth out a bunch, maybe after you floss so that if oils get out after you floss you can get rid of them. Or just eat a bunch of different things... and drink. Try to wash it down. - Ashley

Question 3
what was sanitation like during black plague?...  

Answers
1)   horrible, feces everywhere rats, mice running rampant - Adam S

2)   Horrible. Back then the poor would use the bathroom in the streets and alleyways along with animals. There the rats would pick up the diseases from all the ammonia from the poo. The rats would then scurry in all the pantries and food supplies, where the people would then eat the disease along with the food. The end result was the super disease i.e. black plague - Chase T

3)   I believe there was NONE. :) - Lynn

4)   there was no sanitation. - white girl

Question 4
How to get rid of dandruff?...  Im a 10 yr old girl and i had dandruff ever since i was 9.How do i get rid of it?

Answers
1)   Head & Shoulders - Trudy J

2)   ok. take some olive oil rub it in your scalp. and scrub with a comb or your finger nails(have to have them long). Scrub until it burns but try not to make your scalp bleed. do this before you wash your hair. Also use a shampoo for dandruff like head and shoulder. try not to leave shampoo in your hair. wash thoroughly. - chocolate pudding

3)   dandruff just means that your hair is growing. The only way I know of getting rid of dandruff is to wash your hair with anti-dandruff shampoo, and then grease the scalp or condition it. - Cynthia B

4)   Um, skip the voodoo olive oil thing, and skip the chemicals in head & shoulders.

You can just go to the Body Shop, and get their "ginger" shampoo for dandruff (also, ginger shampoo at L'occitane) and unless you have a serious scalp disease, it will go away almost immediately? - DrKK
