I’d say you are probably allergic to them. I’d quit eating them or have some epinephrine available, because the next time it might be your throat that swells instead of just your lips.

You’re allergic to mangoes. You think puffed up lips are sexy. They are if you do alot of sex scenes like Angelina Jolie but she really looks funny when she smiles because of those.

Many people are not allergic to mangos, but have sensitivity to the skin. Try peeling the mango with a knife first then cut it into cubes.

It might be an allergy in which case some of your insides will swell up like your lips. (Al;lergys can kill you). and why do you keep doing it———you’re not too smart

You are allergic to them. If you develop a stronger reaction you will end up in the ER like I did.
Mangoes are in the same family as cashews and pistachios, so avoid them as well. If you have any other food allergies or similar reactions, see your family doctor for a recommendation to an allergist and an EP pen.
Try papayas, peaches and oranges which should be safe. My ER bill was $1600 w/$100 co-pay for the 5 hours and my blood pressure dropped to 80 among other reactions.
Some fruit like papayas may cause a burning sensation because of their enzymes particularly in their skin, but your description seems more like an allergy.

you have had an allergic reaction to eating the Mango and like all of us when you like something you eat it..
Allergies are funny things to work out. we tend to like the food that give us the reactions. Drat!
I suggest you speak to an allergy expert about desensitising yourself so you can eventually eat and enjoy the food you like without getting the big lips.
good luck.

Botox is derived from raw mango. That’s why they are swelling up like Angelina Jolie. I’m kiddn’..:)…It’s most likely an allergic reaction to the mango. If swelling of the lips are all the reactions your experiencing, then I would consult a doctor before doing it on a regular basis. Again if that’s all that’s happening and there is no other ill side effects or might endanger your health, go ahead and eat all the mangos you want. Who wouldn’t kill for lips like hers. And if it just involves sacrificing a mango, so be it.

You’re probably experiencing an allergic reaction to the mangoes. Don’t eat mangoes any more!
