3. Infant mango allergy is very common.
In a large number of mango allergies, children are the majority, mainly because they eat mango by "washing their faces", and children's skin is thin and delicate, so they are easily stimulated, while their own immunity is worse than that of adults, and they are more susceptible to allergies, except for swollen mouth, often because of rubbing their eyes, and other skin allergies. There is little resistance to allergens, so children are more likely to get sick.

3. How to choose mango.
The first step is to look at the color. The mangoes we see in the market all seem to be golden yellow. However, here, I want to clarify that not all mangoes are golden. Generally speaking, golden color is the mature color or color of most mangoes, but some mangoes are not yellow when they are mature. There is a place of origin called "red mango", which can be eaten when it is red, but the taste is not the same as other golden mangoes, but the taste is different. For other mangoes, golden color is important. Of course, if you want to buy immature mangoes, turquoise ones with smooth skins are good.
Step two, look at the skin. Mature mango, the skin is intact, but it does not exclude black spots. Depending on the degree of maturity, it is ok for some mangoes to have a little black spot. The black spot is not big, there is no spread, and there are no traces of rot.
The third step is to look at the feel. Feel, don't pinch. Pinched mangoes will be dented at the stressed place, and there will be damage inside, which will rot after a long time. Just pick it up and weigh it or feel it. A good mango has moderate smoothness, thin skin and tender pulp inside. If you pick it up and find that the pulp is loose, there may be something wrong with it, but it doesn't show up.
Step four, smell. Mature mangoes are fragrant, especially on mango stalks. And the mango handle will turn black and shrink at the same time. Because after picking it, there is no nutrition supply and water shortage, which is a mature process.
Step five, try it. This step should be carried out under conditions. If the stall owner is not happy, try it carefully. A good mango has smooth and fragrant flesh. If it is not ripe, it may be a little sour. But it will never bring other rotten smells. If there is an odor, it is best to stop eating. In addition, if after peeling, it is found that the stone inside turns color or shows signs of being broken, it should also be handled with caution.
