Question

If your child has a peanut allergy, she should avoid tree nuts, too.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Peanuts are related to peas and beans. Because of that, some kids with peanut allergies can still eat tree nuts like walnuts and almonds. But peanut proteins are similar to tree nuts. That means kids who are allergic to peanuts are more likely to be allergic to tree nuts than other people. Talk to your doctor about what else to avoid.
