Tree nuts

Any nut that develops on a tree, such as almonds, cashews, pecans, pistachios, walnuts, hazelnuts, and Brazil nuts, is referred to as a "tree nut". 4.9% of the world's population is thought to be affected by tree nut allergies, making them quite widespread. Specific proteins found in tree nuts, such as oleosins, legumins, vicilins, and 2S albumins, are responsible for allergic responses. Itching, tingling, skin redness, and mouth swelling are a few of the signs of an allergic reaction to tree nuts.

More severe responses to tree nuts may be linked to other illnesses such as asthma, eczema, and hay fever. People who have a tree nut allergy frequently only react to particular kinds of tree nuts. However, it's frequently advised to completely avoid tree nuts if you have an allergy due to the danger of cross-contamination in food preparation.
