A walnut (Akhrot) allergy means your immune system reacts to proteins in walnuts, causing symptoms from mild (itchy mouth, hives, tummy pain, sneezing) to severe (breathing difficulty, anaphylaxis) and potentially cross-reacting with other tree nuts like pecans; diagnosis involves blood/skin tests, and management means strict avoidance, reading labels, and carrying epinephrine for emergencies, especially since it’s often lifelong.
Severe (Anaphylaxis): Difficulty breathing, wheezing, swelling of tongue/throat, dizziness, fainting, or shock.
Types of Reactions
Primary: Direct contact or ingestion, ranging from mild to severe.
Secondary (Oral Allergy Syndrome): Mild, localized reactions (mouth/throat itching) due to similar proteins in pollen, common with raw fruits/vegetables too.
Related Allergens & Risks
You may also be allergic to other tree nuts like pecans, cashews, etc..
Walnut allergy is often lifelong.
