Guest guest Posted June 7, 2001 Report Share Posted June 7, 2001 Last nite I ate some chessy-poo cake (which contains a bit of walnut) and I tried eating one almond. i had a very mild reaction of a few hives on my arm. This was so minor compared to my reaction of a couple of weeks ago, so as to be practically nothing. But of course I don't want to try again for fear of another terrible situation like the one I had. And it seems to confirm the Brazil nut theory. I read that one should wait about 3 months before trying nuts again, if one has an allergy to one kind of nut , as one's body is ready to " pounce " on anything remotely close to the main allergen. So I'll have to wait it out. Hope this helps anyone else with allergy problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
