when I was younger, my sister and I developed a mango allergy and we were afraid of eating it ever since... Then I just thought of trying it again, 10y later, just in case to prove if the allergy was still there and I had none. weird but thankful bcs it's my fav fruit

FakeFire4615, you’re probably immune to it. When mangoes first came to the United States, people were highly allergic. The solution is to wash the mango with Tecnu, a liquid bought at the drugstore.

I have never seen poison ivy, but I've eaten hundreds of mangoes without any trouble. Mango is my favourite fruit.

Never knew that and I have been eating mangos since I was a kid sneaking into our neighbor's yard and taking them off his trees in Mexico and to this day, it is my favorite fruit. Of course, I've never bit a mango to eat it. You first peel the rind off cause it's so thick. Related to poison oak? You gotta be kidding. But I accept it as gospel, without question, from this site.

It's my favourite fruit so no allergies here. Do the best mangoes come from Pakistan or India?

Indian Yellow a paint made from cow urine. Cow's were feed mango leaves. Not very nutritious and the allergen was harmful.
