My hands are becoming very dry a few minutes after eating a teaspoon of peanut butter...

Any ideas?

Thanks

    Could be an allergy. Does it happen when you eat anything else? It could just be a mild allergy to peanuts.

      No, I don't get the same reaction if I eat other food.

      As far as I know, I don't have an allergy to peanuts, no other symptoms. 

      It's very strange...

      Allergies can present in many ways, so even though it’s not your typical reaction, it could still be a mild allergy.

    It might be an allergy. I should see a doctor to check it up.
