Raw peanuts can carry a mold that makes you sick.  In the future, besure they are blanched, roasted or boiled before eating them.

there's some symptoms missing from an allergic reaction, there should have been more going on in respiration and heart.

An allergic response to peanuts usually occurs within minutes after exposure, and symptoms range from mild to severe. Peanut allergy symptoms can include:

Skin reactions such as hives, redness or swelling
Itching or tingling in or around the mouth and throat
Digestive problems such as diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea or vomiting
Tightening of the chest
Shortness of breath or wheezing
Runny or stuffy nose

maybe it was something else with the peanuts or only a coincidence.
