Can you get an allergic reaction to peanuts by touching just a teeny bit of peanut oil or salt?

The risk of someone dying from touching peanut oil is low. Most serious allergic reactions happen when someone eats their allergen or gets it in their mouth, eyes, or nose. This means that someone would have to touch their allergen and then touch their mouth, eyes, or nose without washing their hands first (this is called "cross-contamination"). Also, most peanut oils are highly refined, which means that peanut proteins (the part of the peanut that causes allergic reactions) have been removed. Crude or unrefined peanut oils would still contain peanut protein and pose a greater risk.
