Tree nuts (like almonds, walnuts, cashews, and pecans) are packed with proteins<\/strong> that the immune system can mistake as dangerous. In people with allergies, the body reacts as if these proteins are harmful invaders \u2014 causing symptoms from itching to life-threatening anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tree nuts contain stable proteins<\/strong> that don\u2019t break down easily with heat (cooking) or digestion. This means they can still trigger allergic reactions even after baking or roasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For some people, just tiny traces<\/strong> of nut protein are enough to set off the immune system. That makes exposure harder to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tree nuts are often processed in factories alongside other foods (chocolate, granola, cookies). This increases the risk of accidental exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Being allergic to one tree nut often means a higher chance of reacting to other tree nuts<\/strong> because their proteins are similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike some childhood food allergies (like milk or eggs) that may fade with age, tree nut allergies often last for life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tree nut allergies are considered among the most serious food allergies<\/strong>. Reactions can be unpredictable and sometimes severe, which is why strict avoidance and awareness are so important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About 1 in 50 people in the U.S.<\/strong> has a tree nut allergy \u2014 making it one of the most common food allergies after peanuts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What Makes Tree Nuts Different?
