What Are Mango Allergies?

It is possible to suffer from mango allergies. Some people can be sensitive to mangos, since they belong to the Anacardiaceae family and are therefore a distant relative of poison ivy. Mangos contain a small amount of a substance called urushinol, which is a toxic resin that can cause dermatitis. The severity of this skin allergy varies between individuals. However, the peel and juice of mangos are more responsible for this allergy, while the flesh of the fruit has a relatively low chance of inducing this allergic reaction.
