Mango allergy

Beware of mango if you're sensitive to poison oak !


 Since mango is a member of the poison oak family, the resin contains substances called urushiol and mangol, which cause allergies. Therefore, people who are allergic to poison oak may get rashes when they touch the leaves or branches of the mango, or eat the fruit, so be careful.
