Key Symptoms of Mango Allergy

Skin Rash

 

The individual may develop a skin rash or hives after consuming mango. The rash can manifest as red, itchy, raised welts that vary in size and shape.

Swelling

 

Swelling is also a common symptom of mango allergy. This can happen around the mouth, eyes, ears and throat, making eating or even breathing difficult in extreme cases.

Stomach Pain

 

One can experience severe stomach pain, which could be an immediate or a delayed allergic reaction to mango. This could also be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.

Dizziness and Fainting

 

The individual may also experience dizziness and in extreme cases, they may faint. This is a severe symptom that indicates anaphylaxis, which is a medical emergency.

Respiratory Distress

 

Some individuals may exhibit symptoms such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, and tightness in the chest, which can also indicate a severe allergic reaction to mango.

Nasal Symptoms

 

Nasal symptoms including running nose, sneezing, and stuffy nose can also surface following consumption of mango if the person is allergic to it. It's basically an immune system response to an allergen.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Mango

Recognize Symptoms of a Mango Allergy

 

An allergy to mangoes can present a variety of symptoms, which range from mild to severe.

 

  • Skin Reactions: This may include itching, redness, swelling, or hives on the skin. Some people also experience a condition known as contact dermatitis, where the skin becomes inflamed after coming into direct contact with the allergen (in this case, mango).
  • Gastrointestinal Problems: These may include stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, and nausea.
  • Respiratory Issues: Symptoms may include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and a runny or stuffy nose.
  • Anaphylaxis: This is a rare but serious allergic reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms include a rapid pulse, sudden drop in blood pressure, dizziness or fainting, and a severe difficulty in breathing.

 

Timing of symptoms appearance

 

The timing of symptoms can also be an indicator of a mango allergy. Symptoms often appear soon after consumption or contact with mango, generally within a few minutes to a couple of hours.

 

Mango-specific Allergy Test

 

If you suspect you have a mango allergy, it's important to seek medical advice. A healthcare provider can perform an allergy test (such as a skin prick test or a blood test) to determine if you have a specific allergy to mango.

 

Identifying Mango as the Cause

 

It can also be helpful to keep a food diary, noting what you eat and any reactions you have. If symptoms consistently occur after eating mangoes, this might indicate a mango allergy.

 

Final Note

 

Remember that self-diagnosis isn't reliable. Always consult a healthcare provider if you suspect you might have a food allergy.

When Mango Grows and Its Impacts

Mango trees are mainly found in tropical climates but nonetheless, they can be grown in some parts of the United States as well. Mango trees start blooming in late winter or early spring. Mango trees generally need a frost-free climate where the temperature ranges between 40 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Fruits usually take four to five months from flowering to ripen. The main mango growing season in the U.S stretches from May to September.

 

Mango Growing Season

 

  • Flowering season: The blooming period usually starts in late winter or early spring.
  • Fruit production: Fruits typically take 4 to 5 months from flowering to fully ripen.
  • Main growing season: The primary season for growing mangoes in the U.S is from May to September.

 

Where Mango Grows Across the USA?

Where Mango Grows in the USA

 

In the United States, the commercial production of Mangos is primarily found in the tropical and subtropical regions of Florida and California. Mangos need a frost-free climate, and the trees do well in any area where citrus is grown. The regions in Florida suitable for Mango cultivation include Miami-Dade County, Lee County, and Palm Beach County.

 

Mango Production in California

 

In California, the coastal region of San Diego County is particularly known for growing mangos, where the favorable coastal climate supports the growth of this tropical fruit. Also, Riverside County and Ventura County grow a limited quantity of the fruit under suitable conditions.

 

Other Regions

 

Some areas in Texas, particularly the Lower Rio Grande Valley, also have commercial Mango production.

Tips for Avoiding Mango Allergy

‍

Avoid Direct Contact

 

If you are allergic to mangoes, avoid all forms of direct contact with the fruit. This includes handling mangoes, eating them raw, or cooking with them. Direct contact may cause skin reactions, and ingestion could result in more severe allergic reactions.

Limited Exposure

 

If you must handle mangoes because of your occupation or for any other reason, try to limit your exposure as much as possible. Use gloves when touching mangoes and wash your hands immediately after contact. Make sure to change your clothes if they have come into contact with mangoes as well.

Restrictive Diet

 

Stick to a diet that excludes mangoes and mango-based products. This includes drinks, desserts, or processed foods with mango as a main or secondary ingredient. Remember to always check the ingredient list before buying food products.

Talk to Professionals

 

Consult with allergists and dieticians about your mango allergy and get personalized advice based on your condition. They may also be able to provide helpful alternatives or substitutes for mangoes in your diet.

Diet to Ease Mango Allergy Symptoms

While there's no specific dietary regimen that guarantees relief from mango allergy symptoms, there are foods that may aid in reducing allergic reactions in general. Modifying your diet to include anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting foods can possibly help.

 

Your Diet May Include:

 

  • Foods Rich in Vitamin C: Fruits like strawberries, citrus fruits, and veggies like broccoli and spinach enhance your immune system, which can help to reduce the severity of allergy symptoms.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Foods packed with omega-3s, like chia seeds, flax seeds and fatty fish, have anti-inflammatory effects which might alleviate symptoms.
  • Probiotic-rich Food: Foods like yoghurt, sauerkraut and pickles . These foods supports gut health which can boost your immune system.
  • Quercetin-rich Foods: Foods that are high in quercetin like apples, peppers, and dark cherries can help to stabilize mast cells and reduce inflammation.

 

However, everyone's body responds differently, so it's essential to monitor your body's responses to different foods. It's always recommended to consult with a dietitian or healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your normal dietary habits.

 

What Food Worsens Mango Allergy

If you have mango allergy, your body may cross-react with similar proteins found in various foods, which can exacerbate your allergy symptoms. These foods include:

 

Poison Ivy Family Plants

 

  • Cashews: Like mangoes, cashews are from the poison ivy family. Eating cashews can worsen your allergy symptoms.
  • Pistachios: Pistachios are also related to the poison ivy family and can exacerbate your symptoms.

 

Other Tropical Fruits

 

  • Papaya: This tropical fruit contains proteins similar to those in mangoes and can cause a reaction.
  • Pineapple: Pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that can irritate your mouth and throat.
  • Banana: Some people with mango allergy may have a cross-reactivity to bananas.

 

Some Vegetables

 

  • Carrots: Some people with latex-fruit syndrome, a cross-reaction between latex and certain fruits and vegetables, may experience worsening symptoms after eating carrots.
  • Tomatoes: Similar to carrots, tomatoes can cause a cross-reaction in people with mango allergy.

 

Avoiding these foods can help mitigate your mango allergy symptoms. However, the degree to which these foods affect your symptoms can vary greatly between individuals. Always consult with a healthcare professional or allergist if you're uncertain.

Allergy FAQ

‍

Can people with poison ivy allergy react to mango?

 

Link Between Mango and Poison Ivy Allergies

 

  • People allergic to poison ivy may also react to mango due to a substance called urushiol, present in both plants.

    •  

  • The allergen in mango is primarily located in the peel and sap, rather than the fruit's flesh itself.

    •  

  • Handling or consuming mango skin may cause an allergic reaction similar to that from poison ivy exposure.

 

Why does mango peel cause more reactions than the fruit?

 

Why Mango Peel Causes More Reactions

 

  • Mango peel contains urushiol, the same compound found in poison ivy, which can provoke allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.

    •  

  • The concentration of urushiol is higher in the peel compared to the fruit, increasing the likelihood of skin irritation.

    •  

  • Contact with the peel can result in itching, redness, and rashes, particularly if the skin is exposed to the peel during peeling or handling.

 

Can mango allergy lead to cross-reactivity with other foods?

 

Mango Allergy and Cross-Reactivity

 

  • Mango allergy can cause cross-reactivity due to similarities in proteins found in other foods and plants.

    •  

  • Individuals allergic to mango may experience reactions to latex, known as latex-fruit syndrome, due to shared allergens.

    •  

  • Cross-reactivity may also occur with foods like cashews, pistachios, and other fruits such as bananas and kiwis.

    •  

  • Avoidance of all related allergens is advisable for those with confirmed sensitization to mango.
