That naughty papaya

Perhaps from all the varieties of exotic fruits I love papaya the most. It is so delicious juicy sweet like honey if fully ripe and very appealing by looks. But there is one thing about this gorgeous fruit which annoys me the most. Whenever I peel it I instantly feel strong itching sensation on my hands. Am I allergic to it? Does it happen to you? Do you love papaya?

Pappa is not suitable for my stomach. Recently I had stomach pain and vomiting after having the same. But no itching problem on hands.

@Sreekala maybe papaya was sprayed with pesticides.

I love papayas, too, but never experienced itching. I hope you aren't allergic. Gloves may help.

@Julie555 Your skin sounds sensitive. You are wise to protect yourself in all those ways.

Actually I am not much allergic, except my skin on hands can react on some perfumed cosmetics, soaps, liquids, so I prefer wearing gloves and using hypoallergenic cosmetics. Thank you for your care, Dianne
