Allergic to mangos????? - Allergies Message Board

Has anyone had an allergic reaction after eating mangos? My face seems to be very itchy, and looks a little pink in spots. I can also feel tiny bumps on my lips, no one can see them but I can feel them.

I work with kids and you wouldn't believe the amount of people that are allergic to tropical fruits. It's really not as uncommon as you think. Do you react with pinapples and things like that? I know they are all in a food group.

I don't think I'm allergic to pineapples but if I take big pieces and it rubs against the corners of my mouth, I get a little irritation there. I am recuperating from surgery and taking "Bromelain" which is an Enzyme from pineapples and I'm doing ok with that.

Sounds like oral allergy syndrome...just your mouth reacts.
