Food allergies can occur without warning at any time throughout life. Symptoms of a tree nut allergy can range from mild to severe. The less serious symptoms include itching and tingling of the mouth, throat, lips, tongue, eyes and skin, along with nasal congestion or a runny nose. More serious symptoms can include difficulty swallowing, nausea, shortness or breath, or anaphylaxis, which is difficulty breathing. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.
