mango lovers beware!

[netmouse]

Deanna Hoak posts about The hidden dangers of Mangoes - mainly that the peel contains a poison like to the poison in poison sumac or poison ivy (don't scrape into it with your teeth for that last morsel of fruit!).

In case you're wondering, I am not allergic to any of those plants (so far) and would be happy to peel your mango for you.

wow, that sucks. Well now you know, you can probably eat the fruit as long as you avoid the peel...
