Hi! I am from Australia will be living and working in Korea for a significant portion of next year. I am anaphylactic to peanuts, but no other nuts or allergens. I'd love to chat with you about this as I am really really nervous about living there with amypeanut allergy that could decide to kill me at any moment! 😂

ah how exciting! Honestly, don’t worry too much, allergies are common here (which is surprising) and it’s very well understood. Peanuts aren’t used a lot in cooking (but is often in fried chicken which is a shame). Omg feel free to reach out and let’s get together when you get here! 🫶

Hi Alison, I am going to Korea in January and I am anaphylaxis to peanut. Were you able to eat any of the street foods? And if so what are your recommendations for going about with my allergy.

Street food I stay away from, mostly because I have a sesame allergy too! The sweet pancakes often also have nuts and nuts are a common street snack in winter - not to scare you! I have translation cards and make use of papago- often people here don’t understand the gravity of anaphylaxis so just trust your instincts when you eat out and about!

HI! I would love to visit South Korea but I'm allergic to sesame and I'm too scared. what do you suggest me?

honestly, the sesame allergy really is the difficult one here.. it’s used in most Korean cooking as a garnish. I’ve found Korean BBQ places that don’t use marinated meat OK, but the side dishes I stay away from. There are a lot of western options for food which I tend to stick to. I’ve never had any problems because I just trust my instinct when eating out here.. don’t let allergies hold you back!🫶
