Fact- Mango is related to poison ivy. If you are allergic to poison ivy handle mangoes with caution. It is the skin and sap which shairs the same oils with poison ivy. I was unfortunate enough to learn this the hard way lol
Ingredients
- 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

How to make it
