I don't know how long after the veto competion her reaction happened, but
it
seems very possible to me that it was caused by the peanuts in the
competion. I read that someone said Alli ate a peanut, but that would not
even be necessary. Some people who have a peanut allegy can't even be near
someone who has eaten peanut butter. So rolling around in peanuts could
have
been the cause.
