Side effects by Vilte Puisyte

  • People with a latex allergy may also be allergic to papaya because papayas contain enzymes called chitanases. They can cause a cross-reaction between latex and the foods that contain them.
  • May be harmful for pregnant women. An unripe papaya fruit has high concentration of latex that can cause uterine contractions.
