I thought it was well known that certain allergies (eggs/peanuts) can transfer via transfusions? At least for awhile. It looks like there’s some literature on it at least, but I didn’t dig into it or anything. I just thought this was “common” knowledge since that’s what I was told years ago by a nurse I was dating in college, a long time ago.

Maybe it's known but I don't know about it :-)

I would assume things like that maybe after a bone marrow transplant but having a blood transfusion seems pretty mild I wouldn't expect any affects from it.
