Are there any side effects of consuming too much papaya?

Ahaa one more ask from mrs.briganza

And what we share each other

While papaya is generally safe for consumption, consuming excessive amounts may lead to some side effects:

1. **Digestive Discomfort:** The enzyme papain in papaya, while aiding digestion in moderate amounts, can cause stomach upset or diarrhea if consumed excessively.

2. **Allergic Reactions:** Some individuals may be allergic to papaya. Allergic reactions can include itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.

3. **Latex Allergy:** Papaya contains latex, which can cause allergic reactions in individuals sensitive to latex. This is more common in those with latex allergy.

4. **Pregnancy Concerns:** Unripe papaya contains higher levels of latex, which could stimulate contractions. Pregnant women are advised to avoid excessive consumption of unripe papaya.

It's important to consume papaya in moderation and consult with a healthcare professional if you have concerns or pre-existing conditions.
