It’s been at least 5 days since I ate the dreaded mango that gave me a rash all over my neck and face and ears. Pooooor meeee!!
I just wanted to give you a preview of what I’ve been dealing with – it’s exactly like a bad case of poison ivy. This photo that I took just an hour ago even shows that it got under my wedding ring when I went to wash my hands that fateful day. It made this really uncomfortable ring around my finger. So just 2 days after our 4-year wedding anniversary, I had to remove it for the first time in 4 years because it’s driving me CRAZY. I tell ya folks, if you’re allergic to poison ivy, you’re likely allergic to mango sap as well, so be careful! More on this soon with a full Poor Cheri explanation.
Wasn’t this a fun blog post?
Are you allergic to poison ivy or have you ever had any experience with this wretched allergy?

Me too…all over my face and hands this time (I had just made some Mango Jam). It’s hard to resist picking up “free” Mangoes on the ground but next year I will be more careful!
Oh my gosh Patti, I know what you mean! I’ll be posting a video soon of the crap I just went through with it. And I know – it’s so hard when they’re so yummy and all over the place!! Best of luck gettin’ over yours…lemme know if you’ve got any good tips for dealing with it!
