My neighbor brought over a large bowl of cashew nut fruit one week ago. We roasted the nuts and juiced the fruit. Unfortunately, I also share both with friends. Six out of ten people are now seriously suffering. New rashes are still appearing on me. Some of the victims with less contact are seeing signs of recovery, but I am getting worse, despite my doctor put me on a predisone pack. Could I be inadvertely re-exposed or is this a process that will go on for weeks! This reaction makes mango and posin ivy look like a walk in the park!!
No one seems to have much experience with this fruit. Please help if you have been exposed!! Teri
