The kicker was that I wasn't found and only came out after the game was called. Mango? Went for a long walk in the woods and took a whole fruit with me as a snack without utensils or even a napkin. Ended up with a severe rash and blisters all across my face and a little down my neck for over a week. I think there was some on my hands but my face distracted me from any other probable outbreaks I'm sure I had.
So yeah, been there, done that, and I know your pain.
