Question 3

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 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?

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 7

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

Stop taking it: If it is an extreme necessity, and there are no alternatives, and you don&#x27;t know whether this an allergic reaction or an adverse drug reaction (side effect), see an allergist/immunologist for evaluation and possible desensitization to the said drug for treatment of a particular disease episode, good luck
