I've often heard elders say that "mangoes are very poisonous". Nutritionist Liao Jiayin said, in fact, the mango is not toxic, but the mango does have some ingredients will induce an allergic reaction, allergy should be consumed with discretion. Common allergic reactions include:

Mango belongs to the lacquer tree class, the epidermis contains lacquer phenol (Urishiol) substances, if inadvertent contact with the skin, it is easy to redness, swelling, scratching, and even small blisters dermatitis reaction, which will take a few days to alleviate.

To avoid this kind of allergy, it is recommended to wear gloves when cutting mangoes and wash them carefully before cutting them, and wash your hands with soap after cutting them to avoid the oily lacquer phenols from staining your skin and causing an uncomfortable reaction.

Unripe mango peel contains phenolic allergens, when the pulp is contaminated with peel latex, it is easy to have skin allergies.

People who have had such allergic reactions are advised to avoid eating mango as much as possible; if they accidentally eat mango products and experience severe symptoms, they should actively consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
