Allergies to More than One Nut: People can be allergic to one type of tree nut, to some tree nuts, or to many tree nuts but not to other types of tree nuts. That is because some tree nuts contain similar proteins—for example, almonds and hazelnuts contain similar proteins, as do walnuts and pecans, and pistachios and cashews. 

Because of these protein similarities, it is common for an individual to have an allergy to both nuts. For instance, if you are allergic to cashew, you have a greater risk of being allergic to pistachios, as well.

However, most people with a tree nut allergy are not allergic to all tree nuts. The decision to avoid all tree nuts when there is an allergy to one or more tree nuts is a personal one and one you should discuss with your doctor. In food production, the risk of cross contact with multiple tree nuts is higher, which has led many health professionals to recommend avoidance of all tree nuts.
