Ate peanuts in a non-nut form and my reaction has been strange

I accidentally ate peanuts in a salad dressing form. It was such a small amount the severity of my reaction has been insane. Just to stabilize I needed two doses of epi, a steroid, and 100 mg of Benadryl IV and PO. Even after being discharged today I needed steroids, more benadryl, inhaler, and corticosteroids for my skin.

This reaction is totally different from my usual. Whenever I accidentally ingest peanuts I get SOB, wheezing, throat swelling, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness. This reaction has been skin flare up, wheels on my skin, shaking, nausea, my eyes are blood shot red.
Has anyone else experienced something similar? Different reactions to peanuts in a different state?
