8. Side Effects and Contra-Indicators

Consuming pine nuts can often result in unwanted consequences that can deter many from using the tasty nut in the future. Some people experience cacogeusia (pine mouth) after they eat pine nuts. Their sense of taste is temporarily altered, so that other foods taste different than you remember. It goes away a few days after you stop eating pine nuts. In addition, some people experience an allergic reaction from eating pine nuts. A typical reaction includes hives or itchy skin, but it is not unheard of for some to have an anaphylactic reaction resulting in breathing difficulties and abdominal pain and vomiting.
