Mangos no more :(

So there are some awesome prices on fruits and veggies here... such as 1kg of mangos for S./1 (which is just about 3-4 mangos for $0.30)... a beautiful humungous heads of broccoli for about $0.30 as well..

anyway, it's hard to pass up a deal for mangos... but apparently I'm still allergic to them.. i was quite allergic to them a few years ago when i had this weird allergy spell to almost everything i ate.. then i started avoiding all foods that i'm allergic to and started the immunotherapy in hopes that it'll get my body to tolerate some food i really like (such as corn)... when i came to Peru I started eating mangos again (in addition to corn, cuz it's almost impossible to avoid corn here)... but as it looks now, I think I will not be able to keep eating my precious mangos... my lips are getting progressively worse with rash every time i eat one and my body become unhappy and bloated (and i end up feelng restless) for a couple days after... it probably has something to do with the amount of corn i eat here too... and the amount of MSG they have in the dishes...

oh well.. well i have about 5 mangos left... question is.. do i keep eating them (because they're oooooh so good... like honey! and taste so good on toasted bread, or just as a snack) or give them to housemates

not an easy decisions.. because i am getting quite rashed up.....

You should switch to heroin since it will also make you feel good but will be much better for you. :)
