They followed more than 100 people who tested positive with a blood test for a tree nut allergy.
They found only half had reactions when actually eating different nuts, meaning even though they're allergic to peanuts, they didn't have a reaction to almonds or cashews.
Still, don't do this at home.
This was done as part of a study with doctors standing by with medication.
