It depends on the severity of your allergy and the kind of food (whether it would be easy to separate or not). I'm also allergic to almonds; but usually when I try picking them out of food, I miss one, or I leave traces behind anyway, so I get a reaction.
You can try, but I'd say the odds are against you.
Added note: My allergy is very minor, which is why I attempt this sometimes. If yours is more severe, then definitely don't try.

It all depends on how severe you are allergic. I have heard someone allergic to peanuts so bad that they didn't serve them on the airplane trip due to their severity and the air recirculating through the cabin. I am allergic to almonds as well. I find that I can eat a few of them without to bad of a reaction, but if I eat to many I get a awful sinus headache and a sour belly. Almond extract is a different ball game -- I do best if I do not eat anything cooked, or has, almond extract in the mix.
You could be the same as me, less allergic, or more severe. Only you will be able to determine which one -- that, or your doctor.

Yes, you absolutely can. It, by the way, has nothing to do with the oils. An allergic reaction is from the proteins, not the oils (theoretically, a peanut allergic person should be able to use refined peanut oil to cook in bc the proteins have been removed...not that anyone's dumb enough to try...). Because you don't know the answer to this, you should do some research on food allergies and/or go see your doc to get specifics. The Food Allergy Network is a good place to start. And don't mess with nut allergies - it can kill you.

It depends how severe your allergy is. For some people even being in the same room as the nuts they are allergic to give them a reaction. You may be ok picking them out, you may not.

How severe is the allergy? To be absolutely blunt, why would u take the chance of rash, shock... etc...life threatening. Since the place is using nuts, it's unsure about cross contamination of anything prepared from that kitchen. Unless u have some prescribed medication to offset a full blow reaction... u best need to prepare ur food. Talk with the chef... otherwise Don't risk it.

You might. There was a boy in Canada who bit into a peanut butter cookie. He realized it right away and spit it out but he still died from an allergic reaction. I don't mean to scare you but I think it's better to be safe than sorry and don't eat it.

consistent with possibility you're no longer precisely allergic to almonds it only that oftentimes your immune gadget is vulnerable and can't take each and all of the protein that's in almonds. stable success. i think you will desire to stay off almonds. I actual have the comparable situation. desire this helped!!!

More than likely...that's why there is a disclaimer on candy bars because they are mixed in alot of the same machines and it's almost impossible to clean all of the natural oils from nuts off of machines and cooking nuts causes them to pull out even more...

possibly, if the almonds have been cooked in the food then the oils could have come out into the surrounding area.

Yes, almonds have there own oils. These oils may have secreted onto your other food. Dont take the chance.
