A little more detail:
The nut and seeds panel test assesses an individual’s immune response to various nuts and seeds, such as almonds, peanuts, walnuts, sesame seeds, and others. This test is valuable for people who suspect they might have allergies or sensitivities, as it identifies specific triggers and helps avoid unwanted reactions. Symptoms of nut and seed allergies can range from mild (like rashes, hives, or digestive discomfort) to severe (such as anaphylaxis). Testing is particularly important for children and adults with a family history of allergies, as they may have an increased likelihood of reactions. This panel helps those who experience allergic symptoms, including digestive discomfort, skin reactions, and respiratory symptoms, by confirming specific allergens. Knowing the exact trigger allows individuals to make informed dietary choices, reducing health risks and enhancing overall quality of life. It also serves as a preventive tool, enabling parents, caregivers, and individuals to minimize exposure to known allergens, thereby preventing severe allergic reactions and supporting safe nutritional habits.
