yes. . peanuts are not really nuts. they are legumes. they grow in the soil. treenuts like walnuts pecans or cashews grow in trees -- hence the name. peanuts and treenuts are completely different types of allergies. but there are some food allergies that do go hand in hand. for instance a person who is allergic to cashews might also be allergic to mangos and pistachios.
if a child is peanut-allergic can he have other nuts?
