Disabilities Question

Alright so I have a life threatening peanut allergy. If I touch it I get hives, if I eat it or breath in peanut dust I will go into anaphylactic shock and have to use an epi-pen and go to the hostpital. I am applying for exposure programs (like inside weeks and networking events ect), and was wondering; does having a food allergy qualify as a disability? Technically according to ADA yes, but idk I feel ethically opposed because while it does inhibit my eating habits, it is not as serious as many other disabilities. I never have checked the disabilities box because of my allergy, and I didn't on my apps, but it made me curious if people do, and if food allergies or stuff like asthma is considered a legit disability that warrants access to certain disability focused exploritory events. What are your thoughts? Or does anyone known the rules on that?

I think that qualifies as a disability. Since there are many different foods and products that created with a plant that says this product is created with peanuts. I think you should bring it up with an employer about the issue.
