Thank you for that link, and this information in particular: "The outer shell (coat) of the seed contains the poison oak allergen urushiol, and may cause dermatitis in hypersensitive people." I finally have an explanation of why my face goes crispy after I eat cashews.

And thanks everyone for all the suggestions for alternatives. I salivate at every photo of raw cheesecakes, click and find they all contain bloody cashews.
