Anaphylaxis doesn't care if it's a poison or peanut butter.

For allergy reactions, substances in the digestive tract get a different immune response from ones in the bloodstream. In some cases you can desensitize people to allergens through trace exposures in food. I think that stops working once you experience an anaphylactic response but the scenario I proposed would happen long before for most people.
