Hi, I peeled a choko for dinner and I seem to be having a horrible reaction. The skin on my hands is very red and feels like it is tight and shrinking! Has anybody else experienced this? Is it safe for me to eat them do you think?

Hi Wheelz, Have you heard of this before? They are all saying don't eat. Thing is I have eaten them before? I am gutted cos I love choko. I have never cooked them before tho.

you obviously have sensitive skin, the sap they exude when peeling them can do that. Fine to eat ( goodness why you'd want to eat tasteless watery things)

Have to say my mother-in-law is a fantastic cook! She could probably make brussel sprouts good! Thanks for you help.

I'd rather eat brussel sprouts than beans anyday

My hubby would agree with you. I am not normally fussy but they are the my one thing.

I would say if you have eaten them before you can now.It is the slippery sap just under the skin that is doing it to you. It acts just like a facial mask drying and tightening your skin.Wash your hands again and use a fingernail brush to help get it off. Next time peel them under running water and this won't happen.
