Almond Allergen

An almond allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins found in almonds, specifically the protein known as Pru du 6 (amandin). These proteins can trigger the immune system to release antibodies, causing a range of symptoms.

Brazil Nut Allergen

A Brazil nut allergy is a hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system to certain proteins in Brazil nuts, leading to symptoms like hives, difficulty breathing, or even anaphylaxis. The most common allergens in Brazil nuts are proteins like Ber e 1, a 2S albumin. These proteins are stable and can cause reactions even when cooked or processed.

Cashew Allergen

A cashew allergy is an allergic reaction to the proteins found in cashew nuts, specifically Ana o 1 and Ana o 2 (cupin superfamily) and Ana o 3 (prolamin superfamily). These proteins trigger an immune response, leading to a range of symptoms from mild to severe.

Hazelnut (Filbert) Allergen

Hazelnut allergy, also known as filbert allergy, is an immune system response triggered by proteins in hazelnuts. The body mistakenly identifies these proteins as harmful, leading to the release of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These antibodies trigger a reaction, causing symptoms like hives, itching, or more severe reactions like anaphylaxis.

Pistachio Allergen

A pistachio allergen is a protein within pistachio nuts that can trigger an allergic reaction in susceptible individuals. These allergens can cause a range of symptoms, from mild skin reactions to severe anaphylaxis.

Peanut

Walnut, Black English Allergen

A black walnut allergy, like other nut allergies, is a food allergy triggered by proteins in the black walnut that the immune system mistakenly identifies as harmful. When a person with a black walnut allergy consumes the nuts or is exposed to them, their immune system releases histamine, leading to various allergic reactions.

Pecan Allergen

A pecan allergy, like other tree nut allergies, is a food allergy triggered by proteins in pecans that the immune system mistakenly identifies as harmful. When a person with a pecan allergy consumes pecans or foods containing them, their immune system responds by releasing histamine and other chemicals, which can lead to allergic reactions.
