A tree nut allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children and adults. Most people with a tree nut allergy are allergic to more than one type of tree nut. The most common tree nuts that people are allergic to are almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts. Tree nut allergies can range from mild to severe, and can even be life-threatening. If you have a tree nut allergy, it is important to avoid all tree nuts and products that contain them.<\/p>\n

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including geographical location and individual physiology. However, generally speaking, the most common tree nut allergy is to peanuts, followed by almonds, walnuts and Brazil nuts.<\/p>\n

What foods to avoid if you are allergic to tree nuts? <\/h2>\n

If you are allergic to tree nuts, it is important to be aware of unexpected sources of these allergens. Breakfast cereals, candy, crackers, cookies, chocolates, energy bars, flavored coffee, frozen desserts, marinade, barbeque sauces, some cold cuts, ice cream, alcoholic beverages (flavorings), lotions, shampoos, and soaps can all contain tree nuts. If you have a tree nut allergy, always check labels carefully and avoid products that contain tree nuts or that may have come into contact with tree nuts.<\/p>\n

If you’re allergic to one type of tree nut, it’s possible that you’re only allergic to that one nut. However, it’s also possible that you’re allergic to a small number of nuts that share similar proteins. Alternatively, you may be allergic to a wide range of nuts. Unfortunately, many people assume that an allergic reaction to one type of tree nut means all nuts are off-limits, but this is often far from the case. If you’re unsure whether or not you can eat a particular type of nut, it’s always best to check with your allergist first.<\/p>\n
