Learning More About Peanut and Tree Nut Allergies
In this study we want to find out how the body’s immune system reacts to nuts and other foods and causes allergies. We also want to check how well a new test works that may help predict allergic reactions to peanuts
Why this Research Matters
Food allergies happen when your immune system reacts to certain foods. Common symptoms are trouble breathing (wheezing), itchy bumps on the skin (hives), swelling of the lips, and anaphylaxis. We want to learn more about how and why the immune system reacts in people with food allergies.
What to Expect
If you join this study, we will ask you questions about your health and any allergic reactions you have had before. We will use a needle in your arm to take a sample of blood.
Study Duration
If you join this study, you will come to one study visit at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus. This visit will take about 1 hour.
Who can Participate
You may be able to join if:
- You are 18-75 years old
- You have a history of a severe peanut and/or tree nut allergic reaction
- Have not taken Xolair within the last 5 months
- You have prior allergy blood test results for peanuts and/or tree nuts
