So was it the mango or not? I love mangoes though they are messy to prepare.

I also love mangoes, but never knew they could have this side affect!

That's news to me and probably everyone who's read your post. Good one.

Thanks for the information on mangos and poison ivy. My grandson is very allergic so your post is a heads up. Having fun with A-Z, thanks for visiting.

Hi, found you via the A-Z :) Mango's are one of my favourite fruits, I would be gutted to be allergic to them - glad you were lucky second time around!

Learned something new! I have never noticed a reaction but I have odd skin break outs from time to time anyway. Thanks for visiting Zoe Cottage today!

I never knew that! Can't say I ever ate a mango though. But since I have caught poison ivy - from washing Rick's clothes after he's cut wood - I'm not sure Mangoes are the fruit for me!

Thanks for the PSA.

I had no idea mangoes and poison ivy are in the same family. I have a very acute allergy to poison ivy, which I discovered at the age of 11 by inflicting poison ivy upon myself (long story). It's probably paranoia but now that I know mangoes are related, that picture's making me a bit itchy.

Nice to "meet" you, by the way! Thanks for stopping by my place. ;)

I was walking through the woods with my cousin last fall. I noticed the vines on the ground (everywhere) after about a hour and then it hit me. I was walking through poison ivy. I told him "you know what this is???" He goes "Yeah, I'm not allergic, you?"
Apparently I was good because I never broke out.

During Christmas however, I was decorating with fake garland...and my arms broke out in the worse rash EVER.

Funny...wasn't really that funny when I broke out...but it's funny to me now ;) You just never know!
