Can a child be allergic to one nut but still eat nuts from the same group?

I'm pretty sure almond is a tree nut (so sits with cashews, walnuts and the like). Dd had a tiny piece of almond and although she didn't have a major reaction, she did come out in hives and her lips went tingly/tiny bit swollen.

I'm just wondering whether it's possible that she ONLY has a reaction to almond and not the other nuts or whether a reaction to almond will mean avoiding all tree nuts.

(Dd had a fairly bad milk and soya allergy which she outgrew - she also had an egg allergy which I suspect she has outgrown but we have yet to go for further tests as we have been signed off by the paediatrician).

MTS has an allergy just with Brazil nuts...but I do't know anything about this stuff! Just a bump really

my ds is allergic to peanuts and cashew nuts but ok with others. You should have dd tested-they will be able to tell you exactly what nuts to avoid if any

I am allergic to walnuts, brazils, hazlenuts etc., but I can eat almond, peanut and coconut. Don't know if that helps or not!!
