Yahoo Needs Headline Proofreaders Kiss Can Be Hazardous for People with Nut Allergy By Paula Moyer

ORLANDO, Fla. (Reuters Health) - People with nut allergies can have reactions if they kiss someone who has recently eaten the offending substance, according to Dr. Rosemary Hallett, speaking here at the 59th annual meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.

For people with allergies, the term ``safe sex'' often has a broader definition than condoms and sexually transmitted diseases. The question ``your place or mine?'' may depend on the answer to another question: ``Do you have a cat?'' People who are allergic to peanuts, walnuts or other nut products may also have to ask, ``What have you eaten in the last 6 hours?''

Humm.. so now you have to ask if they've had any nuts in contact with their lips before you can kiss them?
