My nephew became allergic to cashew nuts

My nephew became allergic to cashew nuts. Even a very small amount of it make him itch. Is it a common alergy? Is there a way to overcome it (except avoiding the nuts Smile)?

If it is only cashew nuts , then you are lucky. I would recommend testing his for more alergies that you have not discovered yet.

You will see in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alergies#Common_allergens that nuts are one of the common allergens.

About alternative medicine, a number of treatment modalities are considered effective by its practitioners in the treatment of allergies, particularly naturopathic, herbal medicine, homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine and kinesiology. These modalities are frequently offered as treatment for those seeking additional help when mainstream medicine has failed to provide adequate relief from allergy symptoms. However, mainstream physicians maintain that these claims lack a scientific basis and warn that the efficacy of such treatments is only supported by anecdotal evidence.
