		 I too grew up with a fig and have no recollection of it making me itchy. However, I do strongly recall that fresh figs are about the vilest of all the fruits (though I do loves me a fig newton). 
 
The droppings were also useless, unlike the pears, apples, black walnuts, and cherries which made for decent impromptu baseball-type objects.
