#mango allergy

[sparklykat-hideoutenthusiast]

I just learned something new today.

So- apparently, I'm allergic to mango sap. The cause of this being something called "Urushiol"

Urushiol is a colorless, odorless, sticky, oily resin and allergen.

Urushiol is found in many things such as poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac. It's also found in cashews and some types of trees.

Urushiol is mostly only found in the skin, leaves and stem of a mango tho so if I cut all that stuff off without it getting on the inside, I can still eat mango 😋🥭(I love mangoes)

+I'm not deathly allergic to it. It causes a rash and itchiness for me which is mildly annoying but I'll be fine lol

My mango allergy ruins everything.

Damn you delicious mangos !! Why did you make me allergic to you?

[chengduadventures]

my skin does not like mangos

Mangos? Or mangoes? 

Either way, I ate a deliciously juicy one last night, and got it all over my face. Then I woke up with a rash all over my face, too. I went the BMW way to a Carrefour supermarket, hoping to find petroleum jelly or aquaphor (since I didn't seem to bring any... curses!) but only found beauty products. Then I went into a little store that had some creamy and more watery version of Vaseline, which I was a little leery of, and was sent to a pharmacy to buy myself some 息斯敏 (allergy medicine) by a pharmacy lady who also told me "Never eat mangoes!" (This was a piece of advice repeated by the woman who sold me the 息斯敏.)

On my way home, I remembered a funny story. 

Emily asked one of her students to send me the address of a gym that's nearby the apartment she lives in/I will be living in, so I can start trying to stay healthy and fit after I move in. The student, Meteor, messaged me and told me where it was.

I replied with something along the lines of, "Thanks for the info, but I probably won't check it out until sometime late next week." I was thinking, you know, after I settle into work some more and also actually move into the apartment.

Meteor replied with, "LOL." 

I was a little confused and asked Emily, and she laughed and said Meteor was probably thought it was the stereotypical Chengdu laziness that kept me from visiting sooner.

Prevention Method to Get Rid of Mango Allergy

The mango allergy can be dramatically dangerous for the sufferer. This can turn to anaphylaxis at any time. If someone has suffered from mango allergy already, then they always pose the danger of anaphylactic attack. So, this is really important to be careful about it. So, what to do to take precautionary steps so that you can prevent all these to happen? This article will discuss about the prevention of foods which is likely to cause the allergy to mango.

If you diagnosed with mango allergy, this is essential to develop a habit which does not contain mango fruit. You have to completely remove mango from diet chart. Beside this, you must not come in contact with it. The rind of mango contains a chemical which causes this allergy to. So, you are probably not allowed to peel mango at any stage. In extreme cases, ask for a help from someone else who is not suffering from it. You can also wear a thick gloves and then peel mango. Otherwise, the chemical will come in contact with skin and start reaction very soon. If you are too sensitive, then even a drop of chemical from the rind is good enough to provide a severe reaction. Even it can result an anaphylactic attack. The anaphylaxis is considered as the most severe reaction of allergy and each year hundreds of people die due to this attack.

If you are fond of mango, then this is going to be a hard work initially. But keeping patience is the key here. There are lots of other foods which can do the same for you. Mango contains some nutrients, vitamins and minerals which are essential for health. If you are allergic to mango and you are unable to consume mango, then find some substitutes which carry the same vitamins and nutrients. It could be apple, pineapple etc. It is always better to take some sensible decision and prevention is the best one. Through this you don’t need to buy any medicine. At the same time, you don’t have to worry about the reaction of the allergy. You can only take medicine whenever the reaction is severe and you are unable to bear it.

So, if you just become a bit conscious about what foods you can intake and what not, you can easily prevent it. For the sake of the discomfort of allergy, you have to sacrifice it.

Mango Allergy and Symptoms

The mango is a fruit which is available worldwide. But this is unfortunate to hear that some people have mango allergy. The fruit is more common in South Asia region where it is cultivated in most numbers. In countries like Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan this fruit is considered as the sweetest fruit. From there, the fruit is exported to worldwide. Some people are allergic to foods and mango is one of them. The reaction can be mild to severe depending on the sensitivity of the sufferer. Some people are so sensitive to mangoes that even a trace of it causes an allergic reaction. Not only this the peel contains the protein which is actually responsible for mango allergies. So if you even touch it, there is every possibility that the reaction will be triggered. So for safety you should wear some gloves so the skin does not come in contact with the peel of mangoes. Thus you should be very careful to deal with mangoes if you are really allergic to it.

The mango allergy causes due to the protein it has in it. Specially the peels of mangoes are full of proteins which can even start reacting by touching it. This is unfortunate, but immune system of the body occasionally does it for the safety of the body. To kill the substance the immune system release some antibody which comes in contact with protein and produces histamine. This histamine is released in an excessive amount. The excessive amount cannot be taken easily by the body. The soft tissues such as skin are affected quite badly by this excessive histamine.

The mango allergy symptoms are swelling around the mouth and lips, itchy and flaky skin, wheezing etc. If you feel these symptoms are showing in you after consuming mangoes, then it is quite sure that you are allergic to mangoes. But you cannot be assured 100% unless some medical tests are conducted. If you call a doctor, he should provide what medicines you should take. Medical issue is always a great concern and thus you should not take any decision personally. It is the doctor whom you should consult for the best mango allergy treatment. He will definitely conduct some tests before prescribing any medicine. But it is always a better option to prevent a food which contains mango. This way there is no possibility of being allergic and you can save the money as well.

Trying something new

Because apparently I'm now allergic to mangoes (Boo!) I've started trying to figure out what I will use to replace the mango bread that I love. And then I remembered I have white peaches... So using essentially the same recipe, I made peach-banana bread.

Here's what I did...

3 peaches, cut into chunks, coat with 1/2 cup of sugar in a small bowl and let it sit while preparing the rest of the stuff...

Then I mixed 2 cups of all purpose flower, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl:

Then I got out my fantastic VitaMix Blender and put 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 eggs, and a banana in it (I didn't have enough peaches to only use peaches and bananas seemed liek a good idea). Then added my sugared peaches on top:

And because I'm addicted to Agave, I added a squirt of that on top of everything...

Then blend using a tamper to push ingredients onto the blades. I start at 1, increase to 10, then switch to high for about 45 seconds to a minute. It starts like this:

and ends like this:

Next, add the blended mess to the dry and mix...

So it's all mixed well...

Pour into a loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes at 350F.

And it should look like this:

And now I am waiting for it to cool so I can eat it. I'll add my thoughts when I try it... NOMS.
