Thanks to curiosity stream for supporting PBS Digital Studios one One second. What do we have here oh no no those are cashews. So is this like a bowl full of death to you? Yes, well cashews aren't as strong of a reaction for me but I am allergic to tree nuts. It's not fun, it's not fun at all. Hey smart people, Joe here. I recently invited my friend wheezy waiter to come by and talk about food allergies. Just one, they're not real cashews, they're stunt cashews. Of course you should never trick a friend with the food that they're allergic to, but it's okay wheezy waiter and I are friends, and I'm a doctor. These days most of us know someone with a food allergy, some food they have to avoid eating, or even coming into contact with in order to avoid a dangerous reaction or even death. But why are people allergic to food? And why are food allergies on the rise? It's nuts. Maybe I'm just getting old but it seems like food allergies are more common than they used to be. Well we're not imagining things, scientific data backs that up. The percentage of children with food allergy has definitely increased in recent years. I'm allergic to all tree nuts so I'm allergic to walnuts, pine nuts, almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pistachios - here in Texas - pecans everywhere. Not pecans no pecans I always say pecans, but you've taught me it's pecans. Yeah I play the right way yeah. That stuff ends up in a lot of different foods, so I imagine you have to have accidentally encountered this stuff before. I have accidentally encountered almost all those that I listed. What happens is my mouth swells up, my throat swells up, I get hives, I get hives in my lungs, I can't breathe, horrible stomachache, and it lasts for three hours. But I don't think about reading labels and that's a whole difference about how we navigate the world as things that I don't have to think about and you do. And especially now it seems like the nuts are cropping up in everything like barbecue sauce or cocktails, like drinks now like to have walnut bitters in them. To make matters even more confusing, adults can also become allergic to foods that they never had issues with as children. I'm Emily Graslie I am the host and creator of the YouTube channel The Brain Scoop and I work for the Field Museum as their Chief Curiosity Correspondent. So I saw on Twitter recently that you aren't getting along with certain kinds of nuts very well anymore. Yeah I've never had a problem really with any sort of food you know, but otherwise never have had any sort of allergy whatsoever then a weird thing happened. Why don't we try almond milk for the first time? I never tried it. The next morning just routine morning on my way to work...
