Peanut Allergy Symptoms
According to the German Allergy and Asthma Association, symptoms of the respiratory tract, skin symptoms such as a flare-up of neurodermatitis, hives (urticaria) or the so-called Quinke edema as well as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, but also tachycardia, dizziness, unconsciousness and life-threatening shock are described . Symptoms of the mouth and throat with swelling, redness and itching are also possible. The swelling of the mucous membranes in the pharynx can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties. In addition to eating peanuts, inhaling the allergen, for example by opening a bag of peanut chips, can sometimes cause severe allergic symptoms. In severe allergic crises, the so-called anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock, there is a reaction of entire organ systems, which leads to symptoms such as shortness of breath, tachycardia and circulatory problems ranging from dizziness to loss of consciousness. This is a life-threatening condition!

Symptoms of a hazelnut allergy
Depending on the sensitization of the hazelnut allergy, different symptoms appear. In the case of isolated nut allergies, i.e. those that only affect hazelnuts, there is a great risk of a severe allergic reaction, also known as anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock. This leads to an allergic reaction of entire organ systems, which leads to symptoms such as shortness of breath, tachycardia and circulatory problems ranging from dizziness to unconsciousness. This is a life-threatening condition!

Nut Allergy Test - Take No Risks

Nut allergies are among the most common and serious allergies in children and adults. You've probably read "May contain traces of nuts" on some food packaging. This often even applies to products that normally do not contain any nuts at all. It is not without reason that even the smallest quantities of hazelnuts or peanuts have to be labelled. Because a nut allergy can cause serious to life-threatening symptoms that require quick action. In severe forms of the allergy, it is not even necessary to eat hazelnuts or peanuts; skin contact or inhalation of allergens is often enough to trigger an allergic reaction to hazelnuts and peanuts. Mild symptoms sometimes only appear hours after consumption and are therefore difficult for those affected to associate with them. So play it safe and do a nut allergy test now.

Do a nut allergy test now and correctly interpret the symptoms

A nut allergy is no joke. Whether it’s a hazelnut or peanut allergy – the symptoms are varied and range from headaches to nausea and cramps, skin rashes, burning and swelling of the airways with associated shortness of breath to what is known as anaphylactic shock or anaphylaxis. This most severe form of the allergic reaction manifests itself in the form of heart palpitations, sweating and, in the worst case, even leads to unconsciousness. Hurry is essential here and an emergency doctor must be consulted immediately, as this is a life-threatening condition! Don't expose yourself to the dangers and order our allergy test today. Then you will know what to look out for when shopping for groceries and when it comes to your diet. Whether you have to read the small print or can load your shopping cart without any worries. Many foods contain hidden traces of nuts, for example in chocolate, cheese and sausage, sweets, sauces and much more. Nut allergy sufferers must therefore know and study the declaration of the products well. Carrying an emergency kit is a must if you test positive for a nut allergy. It should contain antihistamines, cortisone tablets and an allergy shot. An allergy passport should also be found in the wallet just in case. For ignorant outsiders, an anaphylactic shock is not always immediately recognizable, an allergy card can bring life-saving minutes during treatment.
