Symptoms include swelling, itching, or irritation of the mouth or throat; hives or an itchy rash; nasal congestion; headache; trouble breathing; cramps, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea; and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. An allergy to tree nuts, such as pecans, can cause similar symptoms, including hives, vomiting, or swelling, with some reactions being life-threatening, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
