    I had to kill off any notion of being a fan of mangoes. I feel like I have to give a grandfatherly warning since I am so reactive to them. Urushiol (the same chemical in poison ivy) is also secreted by mangoes.

    Walking with my family to a local park, we passed a mango tree, I picked a few and stuck them in my daughter's basket. I then went for a run, which made me sweat. What do you do when you sweat? You wipe it away.

    Not knowing about mangoes or urushiol the sweat that I wiped from my forehead now contained urushiol from my hands. Over the course of the next few hours, my eyes swelled shut.

    How to act:

    1. 1) No running around the pool
    2. 2) don't run with scissors
    3. 3) and for the love of god - fear the mango! :)

     

     

    Wow. I used to buy mangoes at the store for a little while, but i'd break out around my lips when I ate them. And I get really bad poison ivy. It all makes sense now! thank you.

    I made an attempt at getting the lyrics, but got stuck after the line "Maybe Kim, maybe Jen". Couldn't work out what he says in the line after that.

     

    There's a line or two in each song that seems to be beyond me. I tried 'When This Song's Over' and 'Hot Slob' and there's a couple words in each that I have no clue.
