I guess that would be because the peanuts were probably processed on machines that were also used for actual nuts, the peanut being a legume, not a nut.

OK - dumb question time.
If peanuts are a legume, not a nut, then....
If you are allergic to peanuts, are you allergic to nuts?
If you are allergic to nuts, are you allergic to peanuts?
If peanuts are a legume, and you are allergic to them, can you eat other legumes?
If they are two different things, how can one allergy effect you this way?
