Peanut allergy is increasing in prevalence in the US according to reports [1] and has become a global concern. Sensitization to tree nuts is common with reported rates of up to 86% for multi-nut sensitization with increasing age [2] [3]. In addition, peanut allergy has been associated with an increased risk of sesame sensitization and allergy [4]. Patients' attitudes towards tree nut and sesame consumption can be variable following a diagnosis of peanut allergy and have not previously been examined.
