The mango tree's sap is extremely abrasive. If you get it on your skin (or the skin of the mango during processing) it does burn. Soap is the antidote, and if you wash well with soap and cold water within a minute of contact it leaves no mark. I grew up on a mango farm and I got liberally covered in sapburns every year. They don't scar. Some people have a severe allergic reaction to the sap and come out in hives. This often means they cannot eat mangoes, but for the vast majority of people this is not an issue. No part of the plant is truly toxic. If you eat the leaves - even if you drink the sap - you'll probably just get a burn inside your mouth.
