A member asked:
If you're allergic to a particular type of nut, does that mean you're allergic to all nuts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: A person who had an allergic reaction after eating a particular type of tree nut has up to a 40 % chance of experiencing allergic reactions to other tree nuts. Skin testing performed by an allergist can help determine to which particular nuts a person is allergic. Examples of tree nuts are almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, and walnuts. Peanuts are in the bean family and are not a true nut.
