An itchy nettlerash (urticaria, hives), either where the nuts touch you, or elsewhere
Swelling (angioedema), either where the nuts touch you, or elsewhere
Swelling in the throat, causing difficulty in swallowing or breathing
Asthma symptoms
Vomiting
Cramping tummy pains
Diarrhoea
Faintness and unconsciousness
Death due to obstruction to breathing or more rarelyextreme low blood pressure (anaphylactic shock)

I've never heard of anyone developing nut allergy as an adult but you'll know about it if it happens; some allergies do come in on adulthood but I think maybe that's to do with exposure - my sister developed an allergy to white cheeses in her twenties and my boyfriend developed an allergy to asparagus (similar symptoms to nut allergy so a bit scary) about 5 years ago. I'd think if you've been having them for a bit you'll be ok though.

Humans can develop allergies to anything at any time in their lives.
