🚨With mango season in full swing, Hyderabad Police has alerted citizens to stay cautious while buying mangoes from local markets and roadside vendors. Some traders are reportedly using calcium carbide and other harmful chemicals to speed up the ripening process, making the fruits look bright yellow and attractive from the outside.  ⚠️ How to identify chemically ripened mangoes: • Bright and uniform yellow colour all over • May look ripe outside but stay raw or hard inside • Chemical smell instead of natural sweet aroma • Less juicy and unusual taste • Dark patches or uneven spots on the skin  🚨 Health risks: Eating such mangoes may cause throat irritation, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and breathing issues. Continuous exposure to carbide-ripened fruits may also have serious long-term health effects.  ✅ Stay safe: Always choose mangoes with a natural aroma, slight green patches, and soft texture. Wash fruits properly before eating and avoid buying fruits that look unnaturally perfect. #mango #happeninghyderabad #summer #mangoes #hyderabadpolice
