How would you say, "allergic to peanuts"?

Question

We are visiting Ecuador, and my daughter is allergic to peanuts. How can I say that she is allergic to peanuts?

Welcome to the forum! You'll love Ecuador. It's a beautiful country with wonderfully friendly people. - CalvoViejo, Feb 1, 2010

Answer 1

Ella tiene una alergía a maní.

or

Ella es alérgica a maní.

I think you'll find that in Ecuador the term "maní" is used more than "cacahuate", but there are several different terms for "peanut" in Spanish, all of which would be recognized in Ecuador.

Answer 2

"Es alérgica a cacahuates." = "She's allergic to peanuts"

(You might say "muy alérgica" (very allergic) for emphasis if necessary.)

Answer 3

" Quería avisarle que mi hija tiene alergia al maní"

" Por si acaso mi hija es alérgica al maní"

Two ways to warn or let people know that your daughter has this issue.

Answer 4
