Mango allergy problems are caused by a reaction to Urushiol. This substance is found in the sap of mangoes. It causes a severe rash, just the same as poison ivy.<\/p>\n

This is because poison ivy also contains urushiol.<\/p>\n

Mango allergies are often noticed soon after eating a mango. Typical mango allergy symptoms are blisters around the mouth and severe itching. This usually takes several hours to develop, so you many not realize that your symptoms are caused by a mango allergy.<\/p>\n

Some time ago, I wrote an article about poison ivy on this website. It now has many comments about mango allergies, because the article mentions that urushiol is also found in mangoes.<\/p>\n

Mango Allergy Management<\/h3>\n
If you have a mild mango allergy, you may be able to avoid symptoms by washing the mango with soap and water before handling them.<\/p>\n
Do not eat the skin.<\/p>\n
Do not scrape the flesh off of the skin.<\/p>\n
Avoid the mango pulp near the skin.<\/p>\n
If you continue to get mango allergy symptoms, you will have to avoid them completely. Hopefully the above tips will help you continue to enjoy mangoes without allergy symptoms.<\/p>\n
HINT:<\/strong> Peel the skin with one knife, and cut the fruit with another to avoid contamination of the fruit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
