About the Test
The Tree Nut Allergy Test Panel measures the levels of specific IgE antibodies in your blood to specific peanut and tree nut allergens. This panel measures responses to almond, Brazil nut, cashew nut, hazelnut, macadamia nut, peanut, pecan nut, pistachio, and walnut.
If peanut, hazelnut, walnut, brazil nut, or cashew nut allergy levels are abnormal, additional respective component panels will be performed on the sample you have already provided at no extra cost.
PLEASE NOTE:
This test reports the presence of lgE(s) antibodies to peanut and tree nut allergens, but the result by itself cannot confirm the presence of the allergy. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider or an allergy specialist. They will review your results along with your medical history, signs and symptoms, medications, and any other test results. Only a healthcare provider can diagnose an allergy and prescribe medication, if needed.

FAQs
Although it is commonly referred to as a nut, the peanut is actually a legume. The peanut (Arachis hypogaea) originated in South America and, like beans and peas, is a member of the Leguminosae family. Peanuts grow underground, as opposed to tree-grown nuts such as walnuts and almonds.
Tree nuts is the collective term used to describe nuts that grow on trees. Tree nuts include almonds, Brazil nuts, cashew nuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecan nuts, pistachios, and walnuts.
Peanuts grow underground and are classified as legumes, whereas tree nuts are classified as nuts and grow on trees.
According to federal law, peanut and tree nut ingredients must be plainly stated on packaged foods and dietary supplements in the United States. Also, the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires labeling tree nuts based on their type (such as almonds, pecans, walnuts). It’s important to read food labels to ensure that you are not ingesting any nut allergens if you have a nut allergy.
Although avoiding peanut and tree nut allergens is best to prevent a reaction, you can still find these allergens in unexpected places, such as soaps, creams, massage oils, and other products. Be sure to research the products you use carefully.
Symptoms of an allergic reaction may occur very quickly. However, some may develop hours after exposure. The reaction to these allergens can vary from a stuffy nose to anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction that can cause the body to go into shock. Anaphylactic shock occurs when a person’s blood pressure drops so severely that the body’s cells and tissues do not receive enough oxygen.
