Mangoes are a delicious and widely consumed fruit. However, in rare cases, mangoes can lead to allergic reactions in some persons. Exposure to mangSkin rashes may appear when a mango peel is touched, but more severe responses are also possible.

Mangoes and poison ivy are members of the same plant family. Urushiol, an oily chemical present in the plant's sap that causes contact dermatitis in poison ivy, is also present in the skin of mangoes, albeit often in smaller amounts.

If you avoid contact with the peel, you might be able to enjoy mangoes even if you have a mango allergy. However, if a person's allergy is more severe, they might have to avoid mangoes completely.

Apollo 24|7 provides a dedicated Mango Allergy test to recognise the symptoms early and take preventative measures. Following are some symptoms to look out for before undergoing a Mango Allergy test:

  • Getting a rash near the mouth.
  • Developing anaphylaxis, a serious, potentially fatal reaction, after consuming mangoes. This kind of reaction is uncommon, though. There have only been a handful of published case reports.

Depending on the person, a mango allergy reaction may happen immediately after coming into contact with mango, or it may take days.

Contact dermatitis is the most frequent allergic reaction to mangoes, which manifests as an itchy rash with blistering or pimples. The skin surrounding the mouth and the lips are typically where the rash appears, but it can appear anywhere on the body.

The rash may not show up for up to a week after coming into contact with the fruit. Mango allergy-related contact dermatitis can present with the following symptoms:

  • Scaly, dry skin
  • Redness
  • Swelling
  • Blisters
  • Itching

Remember that the mango's peel is what causes the rash. When mangoes are separated from their peel before being served, many people prone to getting contact dermatitis after consuming them don't exhibit any symptoms. However, even if your symptoms are modest, getting tested for a mango allergy is still advisable.

Since the flow cytometry method is used to validate the presence of antibodies, a Mango Allergy test is accurate. The process of flow cytometry is described in detail below:

  • The fluids system helps with cell sorting and transport of the specimen from the tube to the fine coating of fluid.
  • The specimens are labelled with fluorescent probes that glow and may be identified following excitation.
  • Excitation is detected by the filters, lens, and optical detection mechanism. 
  • The flow cytometer's electrical device receives the signal and transforms it into digital data.
  • The doctor can now evaluate the results thanks to the statistical information.

As a result of the method's precision, the entire flow cytometry process in a Mango Allergy test is favourable. The variety of automatic mechanisms means the process has limited scope for manual errors.
 

faqFrequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What causes a mango allergy?

Urushiol is a substance that is highly concentrated in the mango fruit's peel and the flesh immediately below it. Most of the time, exposure to urushiol causes an allergic skin reaction. The mango allergy might not be as significant as, for example, poison ivy or poison oak allergy, but it can occasionally be just as severe.

What method is employed in the Mango Allergy test?

Flow cytometry is one of the methods used for the Mango Allergy test. This is a precise scientific method for identifying the issue and creating a customised treatment plan. It uses electronics, optics, and fluid dynamics technologies. Owing to its automated approach, flow cytometry delivers accurate statistical data with little error.

Does a mango allergy always produce severe reactions?

No. A person's body may not necessarily demonstrate severe reactions when affected by a mango allergy. The reaction's severity varies among individuals and is influenced by several genetic factors. To gauge the severity of the reaction, it is necessary to undergo a Mango Allergy test.

What are mango allergies' early warning signs?

The first symptoms of a mango allergy are mild skin rashes or itching. Since these symptoms are typically ignored because they are expected, people continue to eat mangoes. However, it's crucial to be aware of the minor symptoms and verify the reaction through a Mango allergy test.

How do mango allergy rashes look?

Within hours of consuming the fruit, the mango rash, which mimics a poison ivy rash, most frequently appears on the face. It might persist for a few days. The rash will first appear as tiny, itchy blisters that occasionally ooze. This particular mango allergy is neither lethal nor hazardous.

How can I treat a mango allergy?

If the results of your Mango Allergy test are positive, you can follow these steps to address the condition:  Look for dietary alternatives that are equivalent in nutritional content to mango but don't include it To prevent an allergic reaction, carefully read the description on every food container Consult your dietician and create a customised meal plan
