About Hazelnut (Filbert) Allergy Test | Nuts in Gresham
Hazelnut allergy is a type of food allergy that occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies hazelnut proteins as harmful.
The immune system produces immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that bind to hazelnut proteins. When the person is exposed to hazelnuts again, these antibodies trigger the release of chemicals such as histamine, which cause allergy symptoms.
Symptoms of hazelnut allergy can range from mild to severe and may include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or tongue, stomach upset, wheezing, or difficulty breathing. In some cases, a severe reaction called anaphylaxis can occur.
Hazelnut allergy is often associated with birch pollen allergy because the proteins in hazelnuts can be similar to those in birch pollen. This is known as oral allergy syndrome and can cause itching or tingling in the mouth when eating hazelnuts. However, not all reactions are related to pollen.
