Most associated allergic cross-reactions with almonds. In orange, allergic cross reactions between almonds and peaches are most commonly due to high structural homology between allergic LTP’s present in the Rosaceae family that both belong to; in blue and grey, it is still unclear if cross reactivity between almonds and other tree nuts groups and peanuts is a consequence of taxonomical proximity and/or high structural homology of IgE-binding epitopes; finally, in green are represented three different pollens which, although it is not usual, when sensitized to them allergies to tree nuts such as almonds could be induced.
