There is no allergenic proteins left in peanut oil or it would burn and be rancid at room temperature. Your anecdata is not relevant here.

There are proteins left in raw pressed peanut oil (used for lower heat cooking and as a finishing oil, somewhat similar to EVOO), but not in highly-refined peanut oil (typically used for high-heat cooking/deep frying.)

Both will eventually go rancid at room temperature , though highly refined oil has a longer shelf life (both sealed and, even moreso, after the seal is broken.)
