Tree nut allergies are just as severe as peanut allergies and individual nuts are the
second most likely cause of death from a food allergy. One nut allergy tends to be
as severe as another. There is no evidence that an allergy to one nut is specifically
associated with an allergy to another nut. Amongst children with an allergy to a
tree nut, two-thirds are also allergic to peanuts.
Amongst the tree nuts, CASHEW is the most common cause of nut allergy reactions
in our experience but HAZELNUT, ALMOND,WALNUT, BRAZIL NUTS and PECAN can
also cause severe allergy reactions.
Other tree nuts such as PINE NUTS (from pinecones of several trees), PISTACHIOS
and MACADAMIA NUTS are also highly allergenic; however, since they are more
expensive fewer are consumed and allergies are less frequent. This may soon change
as they are used in more widely in small quantities to give a different flavour to food.
