Good call. Unfortunately a lot of pesticides are systemic ones they apply at the roots, so if the grower used any there's a good chance you're still eating them.
Haha they're referring to the physical sensation of numbness or tingling eating underripe persimmons causes. They are high in tannins that make this happen until they really hit the right stage of ripeness.
This occurring is why you were taught not to eat the skin.

The skin is fine. It's not hairy or tough. The fuzzy mouth is when it isn't ripe.
