Okay - so I have finally realized that I am indeed alllergic to something in mangoes, probably something from their skin. I dont know why it took me this long to figure out, after the last attack that I had I had my suspicions about mango. But the doctor said that if it was a food allergy that it would have manifested qiucker. But having done some research myself, I find that there is something in mango skin that the body can mistake for poison ivy and react accordingly. Take that - you doctor! I am on the couch today ostensibly working, but I cant concentrate cause my face itches!! I may go back to bed for a while until the pred that I thankfully had stashed away takes effect, and the anti histamines I have dosed my self with wear off and I am not so drowsy anymore.
