A member asked:

I noticed parts around my mouth got swollen and kinda hurt. only thing i ate was brazil nuts. is it a possible allergic reaction that i had?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Possible but: In the absence of itching, allergy is less likely. If you must eat brazil nut again in the future, consider consulting an allergist who can confirm or disprove this link for you.
