Mango is related to poison ivy, the smoke emitted from burning it's wood is
highly toxic, as is contact with it's sap, leaves, and the skin of the fruit.
Many people develop a rash from rubbing the mango's skin on various of their
body parts but the flesh of the mango is perfectly safe for them to eat.

Thanks Katra! I was wondering if repotting (changing out the
soil) might make it a little happier.

Different plant but on a happy note - my poinsettia which didn't
get watered while we were on vacation and was looking decidedly
pitiful has made a complete comeback and has sprouted over a
dozen leaves. Rather like a boob job - from flat to fluffy. <G>

Katra, bless your heart... seems like you might have a little
extra time on your hands these days...

I just adore that song. I was singing it years before I ever
even saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Speaking of which, I
imagine they'll be doing a live showing of it at the playhouse of
one of the nearby towns, over/on Halloween. I wanted to go a
couple of years ago but wasn't feeling well or got busy...

Mango is related to Poison Ivy. My wife will not even try one because she had a
serious case of Poison Ivy a few years ago and is afraid that trying mango might
cause a reaction or a reactivation of the rashes she had then. I can't say I
blame her, but it's a pity.

An aside to this, or addition if you will. After you eat the meat off the
pit, use the pit with a leetle bit of mango left on as a facial treatment.
Rub it all over your clean face. Leave it on for 5 minutes or so. Your
face will be soooooooooooooo soft.

Sheryl, actually that's not true. Mangoes grow abundantly around here so I
feel like I can be a fair source of information on this subject. For
instance, my buddy Scottie can NOT touch mango with his skin. If he touches
a tree, a stem or the fruit, he breaks out in a nasty rash. He does love
the flavor of mango, however - to the point the man will pick them and eat
them and be in bed for a day or two. Anyway, as long as he doesn't touch
the fruit to his skin, i.e. eats it with a fork or drinks it, he's fine.
It's something to do with the sap, from what I hear. Many people are
bothered by it. I just thank God that I'm not because I love a good mango
margarita!

Yup...good that way. I have 2 thirty foot mango trees in my yard, they
are in bloom now. Grren mangoes can also be used in place of apples
for pie and cobbler.

This is very surprizing to me. Seriously, I would never have thought that
Mango would be sooooo irritating. Especially for someone not allergic to
the fruit. But now I have another problem with this thread. Are you
familiar w/the character Mango on SNL? I keep seeing him dancing on a
table - rubbing a mango pit all over his face/body. Just shoot me now!

Awesome... :-)
I once managed to keep a poinsettia alive for 4 years with TLC and
careful repotting. Even got it to bloom.

Then the damn dog chewed it up one day. <sigh>
Don't know what possesed him!

I've had bad poison ivy reactions too and I'm allergic to latex (which is a
sap).

I am very allergic to mango but the allergen is in only the skin of the
fruit. I can eat all the mango I want with none to little problem but I am
extremely careful to eat only mangos that I prepare; every mm of skin must
be carefully and deeply cut away while under running water. I learned that
the hard way - the tiniest speck of skin I left one time nearly choked me
and I had a rash around my mouth.

The best mango I ever had was out under the hot sun of the Yucatan peninsula
where it was sold still on the stem and peeled and cut into a kind of flower
petals shape. It was so huge and juicy you had to eat it away from your body
to let the juice run down. Back then, I didn't know yet that I was allergic
to the skin but I had no problems with that particular one - it was
heavenly!

A few weeks after Christmas, my church gave away all the surviving
poinsettias. I took one poor thing home. It hadn't been watered in a long
time and had been sitting there in a cold church with wierd lighting. I
just trimmed it down last week and there's tons of new leaves sprouting all
over.

I have't had one of these plants since I was little and we always tossed
them after New Year's. It should be a fun experiment.

I always toss them. I don't think they're all that pretty without the
colored brachts and, honestly, I'm far to lazy to do that
'put it in a dark closet' routine or whatever it is that makes them
produce colored brachts for next year. I give you credit, good luck!

When I was a kid all of us constantly had rashes on our faces
-- the sap from the stems of green mangos is slightly corrosive.

(grew up in Panama, the fact that I now PAY for mangos is surreal)

Bummer.
You have my empathy.......

I used the "bar fight" excuse once myself!
I lost an argument with a bungee hook.

Was loading stuff at the end of a camping trip using a tarp and bungee
hooks and I guess I pulled to hard on one. It was fully extended and the
metal hook decided to straighten out. The thing whipped back and hit me
right on the edge of the jawline! I'm damned lucky it did not hit me in
the eye. :-(

For the next week, I had this monster bruise on my jaw, extending over a
good part of my cheek and neck.

I had to go to work that way, and claiming a bar fight was ever so much
fun!

Hope you heal up quickly!

Hay I'll have to use the bungee cord excuse the next time I'm in a bar
fight.

Cut the mango in half. Now take a knife and cut vertical and horizontal
cuts into the mango all the way down to the skin. You should have a
cross-hatch pattern. Then turn the mango inside out by pushing the back of
the mango upwards between your hands. Voila! Mango squares. And you can
cut them off very close to the skin.
