tree nut allergy

Almond reaction condition

A tree nut allergy is an immune system reaction to proteins found in nuts that grow on trees—almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios, and others.

Unlike peanuts, which are legumes, tree nuts share enough protein similarities that someone allergic to one is often advised to avoid all.

Reactions range from mild hives to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
