Is nutmeg a nut? If I am allergic to nuts, will I react to nutmeg?
These two of the questions I am asked commonly. The answer is that there seems to be no special link. Allergy to nutmeg does occur, but seems to be rather rare. There has been a suggestion that there may be some cross-reaction with pollens and with celery, but the practical importance of this is not clear. If you are allergic to nuts and have never had a reaction to nutmeg it seems that nutmeg poses no greater risk than a lot of other things you are bound to eat.

Nutmeg comes from the seed from Myristica, a type of evergreen tree, so it is considered safe for people with nut allergies.

It is an extract from a nut. What do you think will happen if you have allergic reactions to nuts?
