Is it poisonous?

Considered toxic. Public sources list it as such; we have not verified this individually. Mango leaves, stems, peels, and sap contain urushiol, an allergen also present in poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac that can cause urushiol-induced contact dermatitis in susceptible people. Cross-reactions… Never eat, touch or handle a wild plant, mushroom or animal on the strength of an identification; ask someone qualified.
