Tree Nuts

Here's a list I have been putting together of different kind of trees that produce nuts which are harmful to someone with a tree nut allergies.  Be careful with cosmetics, they can affect you too.


Let's first discuss:   What is a Tree Nut Allergy? 

Tree nut allergy is a hypersensitivity to dietary substances from tree nuts causing an overreaction of the immune system, may lead to severe physical symptoms.  Tree nuts include but not limited to; almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews and walnuts.



Tree nut allergy is one of the most common food allergies in children and adults. Tree nuts can cause a severe, potentially fatal, allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). 

Medical experts advise that people with a tree nut allergy have quick access to an epinephrine auto-injector; such as an EpiPen® at all times.

It is best to avoid the allergen by any means necessary.
