Yes, but not a hard shell like a peanut or pistachio. Cashew nuts are an accessory fruit of the cashew tree (characterized as a drupe). They grow on the underside of a very tender fruit called a cashew apple. Although the cashew nuts don't have a hard shell, they are covered by a thin double 'shell' which contains a skin irritant called anacardic acid and urushiol. Urushiol is the same chemical the is found in poison oak, ivy, sumac, and Japanese black laqer tree.

If I have poison ivy and ate cashews could that start a reaction again?
If you have a severe allergy to poison ivy, you will most likely also be allergic to cashews. Cashews are from the poison ivy family, and can contain similar allergens. The reason you never see cashews with a shell on them is because the shell has the same irritating oils that poison ivy leaves have on them. Most people that have minor skin breakouts from poison ivy (not a severe allergy) should not have an issue with consuming cashews.
