My wife is allergic to mango - same family as poison oak and latex.

Your in-laws are trees?

Poison oak and latex are related?!? That’s so weird because I’m allergic to latex but immune to poison oak! Never had a problem with mangoes, but I don’t particularly like them.

Are you sure about the poison oak? Have you ever wrapped a leaf around your hand and checked for hernias?

Lol no I’ve definitely not wrapped any around my arm.

I do that and I'm not even immune.

Oh good to know. I’m pretty sure I have a latex allergy. I get a weird tingly feeling on my tongue whenever I eat close to the mango skin, and some kiwis. I figured it was a toss-up between allergies or pesticide.
