- Potential for contact dermatitis shopping list
- mango peel contains urushiol, the chemical in poison ivy and poison sumac that can cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis in susceptible people.[11] Cross-reactions between mango contact allergens and urushiol have been observed.[12] Those with a history of poison ivy or poison oak contact dermatitis may be most at risk for such an allergic reaction.[13] Urushiol is also present in mango leaves and stems. During mango's primary ripening season, it is the most common source of plant dermatitis in Hawaii. shopping list
