David,
You are right on with the mango connection. Mangos are part of the poison ivy family. It seems that the skin is hte irritant. If peeled by someone else, I can still eat them without getting a rash.
There is an OTC prodcut called tecnu that you can buy and apply before exposure that should help.

Good luck
