I bumped into this post accidently while looking up why people get sick after eating pawpaw fruit.. i had never heard of them but a lady offered me one and I was curious so I ate the whole thing..hours after it had me puking everything I had eaten but before that I felt sooooo nautious and the tip of my tongue felt tingly and kind of dumb..only ate one...took the skin and seeds off..my 6 year old daughter had some but only a bit..she said she didn't get sick
