Question 1

peanut vs hazelnut allergy--same cause?

Accepted Answer

Nuts are different: Peanuts and hazelnuts are not the same. Peanuts are a legume and hazelnuts are tree nuts.  If you are allergic to one, you will not necessarily be allergic to the other, but if you have several food allergies involving nuts, hazelnut and peanut should both be part of your skin test or blood test evaluation

Question 2

hwo would i know if i  have hazelnut allergy?

Accepted Answer

Hazelnut allergy: An allergist can test you for hazelnut allergy if you suspect this.

Question 3

what is the definition or description of: hazelnut allergy?

Accepted Answer

Food Allergy: A food allergy is an immune response to a particular food which can lead any combination of hives, itchy rash, swelling including the lips/tongues/mouth, diarrhea, belly pain, cough, wheeze, fall in blood pressure or unconsciousness.  Food allergy can be confirmed by blood test, skin test, or eating in an observed medical environment.

Question 4

completely clogged up after eating filberts; it's like my hazelnut allergy?

Accepted Answer

Same nut: Hazelnut and filbert sometimes refer to the exact same nut (corylus avellana) but sometimes filbert refers to a closely related species (corylus maxima). Either way, from an allergy point of view they are essentially the same nut and if you are allergic to hazelnut you should avoid filbert and vice versa.

Question 5

what do you suggest if i use hazelnut k-cups a lot. will i set off my roommates nut allergy if we use the same keurig?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: It depends on what nuts she is allergic to. It also depends on the severity of her allergy. 
The safest bet, if she is allergic to hazelnut or tree nut, is to not use the hazelnut k-cups if you are sharing.

Question 6

i have a milk, egg, almond nut, hazelnut and peanut allergy), what to do?

Accepted Answer

Avoidance: Carefully avoid all of these foods.  If you have not been tested by an allergist see one. He/she can test you to make sure that you are not allergic to other tree nuts or soy and other legumes.  You should also have an epi-pen in case of severe reactions.

Question 7

i have a milk, egg, almond nut, hazelnut and peanut allergy. is there anything i need? like a kit or something?

Accepted Answer

Anaphylaxis plan/kit: Peanut and nut allergies can be serious leading to anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction).  It's important to have 1) self injectable epinephrine (like EpiPen or Auvi-Q); 2) written anaphylaxis action plan from your doctor; 3).  wear a medical ID bracelet; 4) antihistamines for very mild reactions; 5) chef card-to be used at restaurants.  All of these can be kept in a kit so as not to be misplaced

Question 8

what could cause allergies all year long?

Accepted Answer

All year long.: Most commonly dust mites and molds and pets. In rare cases, what you work around.

Question 9

what are the main causes of allergies during the winter?

Accepted Answer

Indoor allergens: There is little that pollinates in the winter. If you are in the south you may experience mountain cedar pollinating then, but in the north there isn't really anything. So allergies in the winter tend to be caused by indoor allergens (pets, etc), or are not allergies but upper respiratory infections, or irritant responses to pollution, response to cold/dry air, etc.

Question 10

i am having allergy symptoms in my house. what may cause these outbreaks?

Accepted Answer

Indoor allergies: Common indoor allergens include dust mite and animal dander.  Other less common indoor allergens are mold, cockroach, other pets (birds, rodents), and feathers (pillows, comforters).   During tree, grass or weed pollen season, pollen may blow through screens or open doors or windows, making it seem like indoor allergens.  An allergist can perform skin tests for these and have an answer in 20 min.
