From hives and itchiness to anaphylaxis, an allergic reaction to nuts can manifest itself in many ways, says the University of Rochester.

If you are living with a nut allergy, the school suggests:

• When grocery shopping, check every item’s food label for nuts.
• Tell all restaurants and servers about your food allergy.
• Always keep medicine handy. Make sure you understand when and how to use it.
• Work with your healthcare provider to create a plan in case of an emergency.
