Food allergies: peanuts but not peanut butter; boiled eggs, not scrambled

[Treppenwitz]

I remembered where I read about how you could be allergic to specific proteins from the white or the yolk. A link in this post:

Ever heard of an egg-yolk omelet?

I didn’t know this, but apparently allergy to egg whites specifically seems to be the most common egg allergy according to the Mayo Clinic (and conforms to a poster’s experience above):

Both egg yolks and egg whites contain proteins that can cause allergies, but allergy to egg whites is most common.
