What happens if you have urticaria and are allergic to mango?

1. Redness and inflammation of the face. The most typical symptom of mango allergy is facial redness and swelling, especially redness and swelling around the mouth. This is because most people like to peel off the skin of mangoes and put them directly into their mouths. In this way, the mango juice and pulp will be stained on the cheeks around the mouth. Mangoes contain a lot of fruit acids, proteins and amino acids that are prone to allergies. When the facial skin comes into direct contact with these allergenic substances, it will cause allergies.

2. Redness, swelling and pain in the eyes. People who are allergic to mangoes usually first experience symptoms of redness and inflammation on the face, and then a few days later they may develop redness, swelling and pain in the eyes. This is a sign that the body's immune system is responding massively to allergic inflammation and is one of the symptoms of developing disease.

How to avoid hives from eating mango allergy

1. Do not eat unripe mangoes. The mango tree belongs to the Anacardiaceae family. Urushiol, catechol, laccase and other substances can cause discomfort to people with allergies. For example, mango juice contains a component called aldehyde acid which can irritate the skin and mucous membranes and cause allergies. Especially for unripe mangoes, the proportion of ingredients that are prone to cause allergies is higher. How to judge the ripeness of mangoes: No matter whether it is green, red or yellow mango, as long as it becomes soft when pressed (kneaded) evenly by hand (some mangoes become soft in the middle and tip, but the stem is still hard, indicating uneven ripening), it is ripe.

2. Avoid contact with mouth and facial skin. It is best to choose fully ripe mangoes, cut them into small pieces with a knife and eat them, or use a blender to make a paste and eat them with a straw. Wash your hands and face immediately after eating mangoes, wash the mango juice off your hands with clean water, and then wash your face to avoid contact with lips and facial skin causing allergies.

3. Don’t eat too many mangoes. The allergy is cumulative. If you know you are allergic to mangoes but still eat them, the allergic symptoms will become more severe. It is recommended to taste a small amount and not to overeat. In addition, if you are allergic to mangoes, running to the hospital or pharmacy to buy some anti-allergic ointments and tablets to relieve the symptoms may easily cause side effects and lead to dependent dermatitis.
