matters needing attention

For prevention, if there are people with special constitution such as mango allergy, it is recommended to avoid contacting the trunk, stem and leaf of mango, especially the juice of mango tree, because it contains the strongest allergen. If you want to eat mango, you'd better ask someone else to peel it to avoid contact with allergens on the peel. As there are reports of allergy to 0.5cm subcutaneous pulp, it is suggested that if patients want to eat mango, they should cut off more surface pulp, cut mango into small pieces, and then eat a small amount, which can reduce the occurrence of allergy, and those with severe allergy should not eat it. If once allergic dermatitis attacks, it is best to seek professional treatment from a dermatologist as soon as possible.
