No, I didn’t but this may explain why mangoes is the only fruit I am allergic to.
me too. And I’m highly allergic to poison ivy, so I have it extra bad with the mango – just from pealing the skin off!
woah, you can’t eat mangos? that sucks 😦
I just need to use a fork – and wash afterward. But I actually ate one last night. My wife peeled it for me.
Well, the skin has always just been the speed-bump on the road to goodness. I’ll refrain from “wife-serving-husband” comments, and simply say that I’m glad you can still eat them.

hmmm, I’m glad that the internet now knows that I have “such soft skin.” great.
