Understanding Tree Nut Allergies

A tree nut allergy happens when the immune system reacts to certain proteins in tree nuts, including almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, cashews, pistachios, macadamia nuts, and brazil nuts. Tree nut allergies are one of the most popular food allergies, and they can lead to serious symptoms, including:

Hives or swelling of the skin, lips, or tongue
Difficulty breathing or wheezing
Digestive symptoms like vomiting or stomach pain
Anaphylaxis, which is a life-threatening reaction that requires immediate emergency care

Tree nut allergies are typically lifelong and can vary in severity. If you experience any of these symptoms after consuming tree nuts, it’s essential to consult an allergy specialist.
