Are you allergic to nuts? What kind?
Anyone can develop an allergy, but you are at increased risk if one of your family members has a tree nut allergy.You can be allergic to one, some or many kinds of tree nuts.
If you have an allergy to one particular tree nut, you may also be allergic to other types of tree nuts that contain a similar protein. For example, if you are allergic to almonds, you will most likely be allergic to hazelnuts as well. The same is true with walnuts and pecans, as well as pistachios and cashews. Nearly 50% of children who are allergic to one tree nut are allergic to another tree nut as well.
Talk to your doctor if you think you may have a nut allergy, and avoid all tree nuts until your doctor figures out which ones cause allergic reactions in you.Since tree nut allergies can be life-threatening, getting a proper diagnosis is important. An allergist-immunologist is a type of doctor who specializes in allergies and the immune system. They will take a medical history, ask about any previous allergic reactions you've had and whether you have a family history of allergy. Skin prick test
The gold standard for allergy testing is a skin prick test. It involves pricking your skin, inserting a small amount of the tree nut onto the skin and waiting to see if there is a reaction. If you’re allergic to the tree nut, the pricked skin will become red andIf the skin prick test does not provide a definitive diagnosis of a tree nut allergy, your doctor may order a food challenge test.
