i hope it gets better for you soon and yikes! thanks for the warning.
oh wow...and I adore mangos! I'm going to think twice before I touch one again.
Hope you feel better soon girl!
About 18 months ago I had a terrible rash all over the place, from picking three mangoes from a tree. My eyes swelled shut and I couldn't sleep because the itching was so unbearable. I've found since that I can still eat mangoes but have most recently found that I shouldn't eat it from the pit, since it tends to be messy and I now have a rash around my mouth.
I have also found the same reaction from the small tropical fruit ginep, or kinep.
It's a horrible fate to be allergic to such a delicious fruit, especially when they're hanging all around me.
omg, me n my bf just ate mango skin today cuz we wanted to see what it tastes like. Then my mom talkd to me about mango poisoning...is the rash definately gonna happen?
Costco had mangoes at a price I couldn't refuse. I only wanted one. I bought 10 and then proceeded to committ glutony for the next several days, allowing my face to come in contact with the skin. If there was a single drop of juice or pulp still on the skin, my mouth was there like a cleanup crew.
2 days later it happened. You know what. It was horrible. Thankfully the worst seems to have passed.
It was enough to stop me to pause to ask myself whether I have the guts to ever go near a mango as long as I live.
