What's my likelihood of developing a nut allergy if one of my parents has one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Great question: Most of the data on food allergy is dealing with milk, egg, and peanut. There is less data on nut allergy. While the risk of allergies is increased in children of allergic parents, this does not necessarily translate into passing down of nut allergy specifically. A factor other than genetic factors that may increase the risk of nut allergy is having eczema (atopic dermatitis).
