Interesting. As a kid my only experience with Lychees was the canned variety (often found as a desert at Chinese restaurants).
But now days, fresh ones are pretty common, and you can often buy them really cheaply at London fruit stalls: I bought a big 2kg box for £4 recently! Very tasty and we felt no ill-effects despite gorging ourselves on them.
