Is it possible to become allergic to legumes if I'm allergic to peanuts?

So yeah, I'm allergic to peanuts and I've been eating plant based for around 1,5 years now. I absolutely love eating legumes and prefer it soooo much more compared to meat and eggs! I'm just scared that it might be possible to develop an allergy to beans, lentils and chickpeas if I eat them too much? Considering that peanuts are legumes. They are a valuable protein source for me and it would suck to be allergic to them!

What do you guys think?
