Why did i develop a cashew allergy if i don't eat them often?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
True allergy?: Are you truly allergic? Are you having any allergy symptoms when you eat them? Just because you see a positive result on skin or blood test, doesn't automatically mean that you are allergic to it (just like any other food). If you truly are, well then that just happened to be enough exposure for your immune system to react to it.
