I wasn't actually thinking about it... it was the allergic reaction that made me notice the peanut butter. From how strong the smell was in the area, I'm pretty sure it was jumping out of the jar.
Edit for clarity, since I really don't want to be getting into this further with you: I know the smell of peanut butter doesn't trigger an allergic reaction in and of itself, but particles of peanut/peanut butter in the air can lead to enough actual contact to trigger a reaction. If love peanut butter is in the air, that will also correspond to a stronger smell.
Not only have I tended to minimize my allergy rather than freak out about it (the fact that there was peanut butter around me should tell you something), but it was the allergic reaction that made me even notice the peanut butter was there. I was oblivious to it.
Save your condescension. I've had enough of it for one lifetime, thank you.
