Was that raw mangos? Asking because I don't remember ever having such a problem with ripe ones (nor with raw ones, actually). And have eaten plenty of both, more of raw, in fact. But guessing the raw ones are more likely to have some irritating chemical.

I would guess some people are more sensitive to it. My entire family handles mangoes (raw, ripe or whatever) and only my mother has allergic reactions. She also cannot eat mangoes otherwise she has rashes in the skin, while I eat up to 10 mangoes a day and end up okay.

Same here. Pretty much no allergic reactions to either raw or ripe mangos (in me or anyone I know), unless you call a bit of irritation or sensitivity around the edges of the lips, a reaction, that too, only with more acidic raw mangos (or maybe also with the skin of ripe mangos). I say "more acidic" because there are some less acidic, almost non-acidic varieties that we used to love and gorge on as kids - named Rajapuri or Totapuri mangos. A bit larger than the average ripe mango. Mild but really good tangy flavor. We used to eat them with pinches of salt, but they were tasty enough to eat without. I think a little sweet-sour. And you could eat a large amount without getting a stomach upset, like a couple of them.

Edit: Those were raw mangos.
