Tree nut and peanut allergies are relatively common and ranked among the 9 most frequent allergens in Canada.
It’s important to note that although these allergies are separate from each other, a good number of people with a peanut allergy also tend to have a tree nut allergy.
It’s also true that, due to the nature of peanut allergy, those who have it may be more likely to be allergic to soy and legumes like peas and lentils. As with other allergies, symptoms can range from difficulty breathing, diarrhea, hives and vomiting to anaphylaxis – often relatively soon after consuming the food.
