Living with someone who has a peanut allergy can be tricky, and one Reddit user found out the hard way. After receiving a gift of fancy honey from their mother, the user accidentally contaminated it with peanut butter while making toast. When their housemate later helped themselves to the honey, they suffered an allergic reaction and had to be hospitalized.

Moving forward, the user has decided to avoid peanut butter altogether and is looking for peanut-free nut butter options. They have also labeled the honey with a warning and are teasing their housemate about the time they tried to kill them with fancy honey.
