Mango
Mango can trigger allergic reactions due to proteins like **Mangifrin** and **urushiol** (also found in poison ivy). Symptoms range from oral allergy syndrome (itchy mouth, swelling) to severe anaphylaxis. Cross-reactivity with **cashew** and **pistachio** (Anacardiaceae family) is common. Rarely linked to **latex-fruit syndrome** (cross-reaction with latex proteins).
