Allergic reactions to these types of foods occur within minutes of eating and symptoms can be severe. Symptoms include wheezing, coughing, hives, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, and swelling in the area around the mouth.

Symptoms also include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, throat, or mouth, wheezing or difficulty swallowing, hives that appear as a red, itchy rash that spreads to areas, restlessness and anxiety ; rapid pulse; and dizziness or a sharp drop in blood pressure. These types of allergies are very severe and may cause an anaphylactic reaction in some people.
