noticed this sticky, clear slime(kinda dried up) on the fruit of my carrie mango tree. The fruit is just a bit bigger than the size of an egg right now.... anyone know what it is or if it's normal without any pic?

You should avoid getting that sticky latex on your skin. Can cause rashes in many people. Also when picking mangos it's best to wear gloves and not get exposed to this liquid that can squirt out when mangos are picked. Even if you are not now allergic constant exposure can lead to future allergy.
