This oil is also found in mangoes, pistachios, cashews, and a few others.

If you're highly sensitive to poison Ivy, eating the foods above can give you the same reaction on your face / lips / throat.

It's... fun.

Interesting. I've always wondered why my mouth became itchy after eating mangoes. Walnuts and cashews too.

How terrifying

There a couple take aways from this, I choose this one.

Make way for the big spender over here filling up on pricey nuts and Indian peaches just to make his face itchy.

Its to be expected a fondledbydolphins would be quicker on the band name draw than a default anything. Fair play, it's all yours.

I thought about growing mangoes. Then I learned about the bark.

Thank you, mango tree farmers, for fighting those bastards for delicious mangoes.

I had a friend in high-school almost die from biting into a mango. Somehow he'd gone his whole life without knowing up until that point. Wash ur mangos ppl.

Odd, see when I was a child I climbed a rock completely covered in poison ivy, and so I became just like that rock. Took steroids and stuff to battle it. But I've never had an issue eating the above foods. Interesting to know and I'll keep that in the pocket for the future.

You're thinking of shellac, which, ironically, also originally involved trees. (They're not necessarily wholly different categories; Wikipedia calls urushiol "true lacquer".)

Shellac is much more common in the West, whereas lacquer is so heavily associated with Asia that lacquering (or mimicking the lacquered look) is called "japanning" in the trades, much like porcelain is usually called "china".
