[QUOTE="Dark Horse, post: 1233229, member: 52527"] If you read Shar67's original post, she said that she'd been told that her reaction to Brazil nuts was actually due to a chemical they had been treated with to keep them fresh, rather than the nut itself. I was asking what the name of that chemical was. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic substances produced by moulds that may contaminate nuts. It is thought that their presence may affect sensitisation, but usually Brazil nut allergy is to proteins within the nut. Brazil nut allergy may be one of the commonest tree nut allergies in the UK ([URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26233427[/URL]) but peanut allergy is about twice as common as treenut allergy ([URL]http://www.gpnotebook.co.uk/simplepage.cfm?ID=x20080902175442749131[/URL]) Thanks for the link.
