Some people with food allergies (often peanut) report that they experience allergy symptoms while travelling in aircraft. The cause may be the free peanut snacks handed round to passengers with their drinks. If people eat these without washing hands afterwards, and then touch things like the tray table, seat belt etc., traces of peanut protein maybe transferred onto these things. Symptoms are usually mild, but can include itchy rash, streaming eyes and wheezing.
