The Holidays and Tree Nuts

Dr. Phil Jones helps us unwrap the trappings of holiday foods for food allergic patients, specifically those who are allergic to tree nuts.

Hazelnuts, walnuts, pistachios...all the nutty flavors added to our favorite holiday helpings can cause pollen-food allergy syndrome for people allergic to certain tree pollens as well as life-threatening symptoms for food-allergic patients. Dr. Jones shares how various food testing strategies can better identify these allergies and how you can be prepared for possible exposure. He also introduces us to the newest alternative to needle epinephrine: Neffy.
