I'm allergic to Mango ?
Paul McNoob
3-4 months ago.
I had my very second Mango 2 days ago, and today, my lips are a LITTLE
puffier than normal (but not too noticeable) and feel chapped. The
same irritation I had after the first time I had the mango.
Is it possible to be allergic to Mango? I'm not allergic to anything -
nuts, fruits, veggies, seafood, nothing.
So why mango? I guess I'll have to search the 'net for this one..
The day after eating the mango, my lips feel like I'm about to get a
coldsore (which I get). I'm now on the 2nd day after eating the mango
and no cold sore, but like i said above, my lips are irritated/chapped
feeling.
Strange!

Not strange at all.
Mango "is one of the big 8 allergens."

No it's not. Google "mango" and enter "enzymes" in the "search within
results" box. It has an enzyme like that in papaya that tenderizes meat. You
are meat.

You're not allergic or you'd be in the hospital You are sensitive to some
of the enzymes present in mangos most likely a papain-like digestive enzyme.
Not going to harm you.

It was my impression that food allergies usually have more dramatic effects
than that. I have heard of people whose throats completely close from the
inflammation, so that they cannot breathe. My father had very strange
allergies, because the foods in question *sometimes* affected him and
sometimes did not. It may have been something he sometimes ate in
conjunction with them, I don't know. His entire face swelled, his eyes
swelled shut and everything.

I am not aware of benign food allergies. If you have one, they can kill
you. There are a great many food sensitivities which cause other non-lethal
reactions.

This is simply not true, and could kill you if you take it literally. An allergy
can develop over time or with increased exposure to the allergen, or a
food sensitivity can be so severe as to threaten life. The thing that you
should do is see a doctor and describe it, probably take some allergy tests
and find out for sure. There is a lot of very good reading on allergy on
the internet, just Google "food allergy," and pay attention to the experts.
http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/topics/foodAllergy/understanding/whatIsIt.htm
This would be a good starting place. Meanwhile, avoid mangos.

Then I'm merely sensitive to ragweed pollen? Every doctor has said I'm
allergic. When exposed to it, I sneeze and itch, but it's an
antihistamine situation, not a hospital one. Same for certain sorts of
seafood. When I feel the sore throat on swallowing, I quick take a
Benedryl, not call an ambulance.
There are allergies that cause sneezing, itching, and hives. There are
allergies that cause anaphylactic shock. They're all allergies.
There's no reason why someone can't be allergic to mango and get a mild
reaction.
Usually it's the peel that's the problem. Many people who break out on
contact with the mango tree's sap or peel of the mango can eat it with
no trouble-- provided someone else has peeled it or they've used plastic
gloves when doing it themselves.

Mango contains urushiol, which provokes a reaction
in many people.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urushiol
Contrary to what other posters said, the cause
of your reaction is not an enzyme.

B. More information:
Mango is not one of the "big eight" allergens (milk, peanut, wheat, seafood,
fish, soya, tree nuts, and egg), and therefore not as much is known about
it. But there are compelling reasons to study less common allergens to the
extent possible. One is that they may be "emerging" allergens, as mango is
(see immediately below). Incidence of an allergy may rise significantly in a
short time, leaving many clinicians unprepared. Furthermore, knowledge of
less common allergens is important not only in terms of the allergies
patients may have, but those they DON'T have. Self-diagnosis is probably
more common in allergy than in any other area of healthcare, and patients
are certainly not restricted mainly to the "big eight" in their incorrect
ideas about adverse reactions they are experiencing. For any reported
adverse reaction, a clinician needs both the means to assemble solid
evidence about the nature of the reaction, and also a theoretical framework
within which to reason. Without, for instance, a range of suspicions of
cross-reactions, based on, for example, botanical relationship or the
presence or the type of a panallergen, diagnosis and management will be
incomplete.
Dimitri
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis
Unless the exposure is the "sensitizing dose" as described below.
Dimitri
Anaphylaxis is a severe, whole-body allergic reaction. After an initial
exposure ("sensitizing dose") to a substance like bee sting toxin, the
person's immune system becomes sensitized to that allergen. On a subsequent
exposure ("shocking dose"), an allergic reaction occurs. This reaction is
sudden, severe, and involves the whole body.
Hives and angioedema (hives on the lips, eyelids, throat, and/or tongue)
often occur. Angioedema may be severe enough to block the airway. Prolonged
anaphylaxis can cause heart arrhythmias.
Some drugs (polymyxin, morphine, x-ray dye, and others) may cause an
"anaphylactoid" reaction (anaphylactic-like reaction) on the first
exposure.[7] This is usually due to a toxic reaction, rather than the immune
system mechanism that occurs with "true" anaphylaxis. The symptoms, risk for
complications without treatment, and treatment are the same, however, for
both types of reactions. Some vaccinations are also known to cause
"anaphylactoid" reactions.[8]
Anaphylaxis can occur in response to any allergen. Common causes include
insect bites/stings, horse serum (used in some vaccines), food allergies
(peanuts and tree nuts are the most common, though not the only), and drug
allergies. Pollens and other inhaled allergens rarely cause anaphylaxis. In
opthamology, the dye fluorescein used in some eye exams is a well known
trigger. Some people have an anaphylactic reaction with no identifiable
cause.
Anaphylaxis occurs infrequently. However, it is life-threatening and can
occur at any time. Risks include prior history of any type of allergic
reaction.

Ask your dermatologist. Don't ask for medical advice in this
newsgroup. It could be an allergy - in which case, each reaction is
likely to be worse than the one before, and eventually could kill
you. If it's just a sensitivity, you have to decide if it's worth it
to eat the thing or not. Ask your dermatologist.

I'm sure he was confused and thought this was a group of allergists. I know
whenever I am sick I go to Internet cooking groups for medical advice. I
thought everyone knew about mango juice and how it can be irritating to soft
tissues.

Not so. I am allergic to Mango and have never ended up in the
hospital. Not all allergic reactions (especially at first) require
hospitalisation.

I had my first reaction to Mango when I was about 25. It took me a
couple of years and a few reactions before I pinned it down to Mango.
My whole face blows up and I get small blister like things under the
skin, it requires depomedrol injestions for a couple of days to get
rid of the swelling. Your allergic reaction will only get worse. Mine
started with just eating them, then a couple of years ago I picked one
from a tree and got some of the sap from the stalk on my hand... ended
up with the same allergic reaction as if I had eaten it.

An alternate allergic reaction to food is hives or swelling
of the lips or face. Allergic reaction increases with each
subsequent exposure.

It's quite possible, and there really is no rhyme or reason to allergies.
The only way to know for sure is to be tested, but if you're having any kind
of inflamation after eating it, the odds are good that you are.

My wife is quite sensitive to the skin and sap of the mango and will
have those symptoms you describe. She cannot handle the fruit with her
bare hands. My guess is that it's similar to poison ivy, although I've
never seen that myself.
Just have your spouse peel that sucker for you. Peel the mango by going
around with a knife starting from the top - try to peel it using one
cut. It would probably be best to rinse the peeled fruit before slicing
it. Wifey has no problems with the flesh.
The sap and skin have no effect on me - that's one of my many super
powers, I guess. :-)
Phred
The easiest way to get the flesh of most modern stringless varieties
is to cut off the two "cheeks" as close to the seed as you can judge,
then spoon the flesh out with a large spoon (dessert or table). If
you feel like getting a bit messy you can then cut though the
remaining ribbon of skin, peel it off, and can suck on the seed. :-)
>The sap and skin have no effect on me - that's one of my many super
>powers, I guess. :-)
Back in The Good Old Days in another place, when all the mangoes I ate
were picked ripe from the tree, I had no mango sap burns. But now,
with far less choice of backyard trees, I have to fight the flying fox
[fruit bats] for a feed -- so I have to pick the fruit at maturity but
not really "soft ripe".
When you pick them like that the damn things often send out a squirt
of their corrosive sap which can cause a skin burn if you don't notice
it and wash it off pretty quickly.
Cheers, Phred.

Interesting. Well, I did touch the skin as I held the fruit, but my
mouth only touched the insides as I scooped them out. Nothing happened
to my fingers/hands. So it's the insides that bother me.
I won't be eating it again, that's for sure. As delicious as it is
*sigh*.
Dimitri
There's an easier way.
1. Go buy a big ripe mango.
2. Take the mango a knife and some paper towels in the car.
3. Drive the car to your nearest emergency room parking lot.
4. Peal and eat the mango.
5. Wait 20 minutes.
6. If you can still breathe you're not allergic.
7. Or if your throat starts to close go into the ER and pray they're not
too busy.

The rational for completely removing the skin is to get rid of the
irritating parts. Eating the flesh out of the peel is probably
inadvisable for people with a sensitivity to the sap. My wife will get
a rash wherever the peel touches her.
We're pretty familiar with mango and the irritating effects of the
skin because we live in the tropics. Eating a mango with a spoon is a
novel idea for me but the reality is that there's many ways to skin a
cat.

Interesting that you should describe your wife as short and furry, so's
mine! She's only 6'2". :-)
I agree completely with you that folks can eat their pets if that want
to but it would be nice if they only did this in their own country. We
had a couple of dudes here that stole a guy's doggie from a golf course
and killed it for food. That was sad.

The point of my comment was *not* to suggest your wife eat it from the
skin herself, but to suggest a quick and easy way for you to remove
the flesh for her to eat from a bowl or whatever.

Yeah. I've been eating mangoes for well over 50 years, but I'd never
thought of using a spoon until a colleague demonstrated it at lunch
time about three years ago. (Of course, as I said, it only works well
with the "stringless" varieties; it's not so good with the "common"
feral type as we know it here. :-)

The way I heard it was: "There is more than one way to kill a cat - you
can choke it with cream."

Getting back to the OP. I have no adverse reactions to mangoes. Thank
goodness. But I do prefer to eat them over the sink ;-)

If you really must be so messy, I recommend the bank of a clear
rainforest stream for a subsequent full body cleansing. ;-)

Me too, since it's a bit of a messy undertaking. I suppose I could eat
mangoes in the bathtub but that might be taking it too far. :-)
It's important to not draw attention to the fact that there's mango
eating going on since those pesky family members tend to want to partake
of the fruit that took a lot of sweat to prepare. Good thing my kitchen
tends to be on the dark and gloomy side. :-)

Ah. I see. Whatever floats your boat (of course).
