Probably the first truly objective evaluation of this controversy
was recently published in a fascinating book entitled:

Four or five years ago, I developed an allergic response to mango sap. I have
now developed an allergic response to something unknown, but the physical
distribution of the response is identical. Why is it so?

I have heard that mango skins contain the same chemical which is responsible for the skin rashes caused by poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac (to name three American plants which cause skin rashes if you touch them). Maybe you have come in contact with another plant which creates this chemical?
