Sesame, mustard, sunflower, and poppy seeds cause the most allergic reactions. Our Nut Allergy Test Panel measures your immune system response to specific nut proteins, and seed proteins which can be part of helping to determine whether you have an allergy.
Classic allergic reactions usually include a red, itchy rash called hives that occurs within minutes of ingesting foods containing the food allergen. Hives can progress to or occur as part of a more serious allergic reaction, called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction that may include any of the following symptoms: wheezing or other breathing problems; vomiting, diarrhea or stomach cramps; face, mouth, or throat swelling; or signs of shock, including low blood pressure, dizziness, and passing out.
People with peanut allergies are at increased risk of having other food allergies. However, there is little similarity between peanut allergens and those present in tree nuts such as walnut, almond, pecan, pistachio or cashew. Peanut, tree nut and seed avoidance strategies advised will largely be dictated by choking hazards in infants, and the risks of cross contamination, or substitution of one nut for another in commercially prepared foods. For some people it may be easier to avoid all nuts and the potential for confusion when trying to tell between one nut type and another.
