“Mango is a cousin to poison ivy”
Am I fortunate that I have never been near a mango. I spent a whole summer swollen up with Poison Ivy and the Bethesda Maryland Hospital had to give me a series of shots that they said I could never be given again in my life (I was 13 at the time) if I was exposed again. This was in VA. I have lived in the West since then and never go anywhere near parks and woods unless on well defined trails.
Ouch! I check every fruit drink and mixed fruit before I buy it to make sure it doesn’t contain mangoes. I have always been highly allergic to poison ivy but never knew about mango. Many years ago, before they were common in grocery stores, I ate a fresh mango and my whole face and mouth broke out. The Dr. thought I had some unknown disease. It was b-a-d. Never again.
