Id be freaking crying lol im so sorry 😞 maybe you can sell them at a local farmers market?! (With gloves on, obviously) My grandparents had a magnificent, almost 3 story tall, avocado tree in their backyard that they planted as a wee little twig 60 years ago. I ate SO MANY that i made myself allergic - but nothing in this world will make me quit that gorgeous fruit 😅❤ i took a year off and went back in. Issues have definitely subsided and now i try not to test my luck with more than half of their super large bacon avocados (1 whole one equals 4 medium hass) - they are legitimately larger than my hand 😂
Girl same. I live in Florida and my aunt has a massive mango tree. Was peeling bags of them only to find out a few days later I have an allergy to them! The skin has the same chemical compound as poison ivy. I had blisters all over my arms and anywhere the mango skin touched my skin. Awful 😂
Does it make your mouth itch or is it the skin blistering? You can be allergic to the sap while picking and still be able to eat it as long as you don’t have the mouth itching
Same here. We lived next to a mango grove in the Redlands (between Miami and Homestead) back in the 80’s. I had to stay clear and hope we weren’t downwind.
My sister kept getting a rash around her mouth and my parents couldn't figure out what was causing it until some mango juice ran down her arm and she got a line of rash from it. Now I get double the mangos
I thought I was allergic to mangos and I figured out when I was picking them I was really allergic to the sap and not the mango itself. Most people are allergic to the sap because it’s cousins with poison ivy
Those mangos were like the prettiest mangos I've seen in a while too
