SIDE EFFECTS AND CONTRAINDICATIONS OF BRAZIL NUTS
Brazil nut allergy, like other tree-nut allergies may occur in some sensitive individuals. The reaction symptoms may range from simple skin itching (hives) to severe form of anaphylactic manifestations, including breathing difficulty, pain abdomen, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cross-reactions may occur to some other nuts and fruits, especially of Anacardiaceae family such as mango, cashew nuts, pistachio...etc. Persons with known allergic reactions to any of these nuts may, therefore, need to observe caution.
Excess consumption of these nuts may result in selenium toxicity. Oftentimes the symptoms may be severe, including nausea, vomiting, garlic odor in breath, emotional disturbances. Other likely manifestations may include dental caries, alopecia (loss of hair), neuropathic pain, dermatitis...etc. It is, therefore, advised to eat only few nuts (2-4 nuts) per day (each nut weighs about 5 g).
