Jeremy,

Just a note on this subject: you should change the way the link to the
warnings page is phrased (now "Due to the increase in allergic
reactions...") to say "chemical burns" instead of "allergic
reactions." Because these are not truly allergies, and people might
think an allergic reation is no big deal & worth the risk (and
therefore not be scared enough by the word to bother reading your
warnings).

Also a question to Catherine: you refer to requests for PPD black, but
is there really any way to tell PPD black from any other black?
Because the sites you refer to which sell 'colored henna' include
black in their 'colors.' We should just assume it's all made with
PPD, right? There is no way to determine otherwise, except for the
claims of the sellers, am I correct? I do not use black myself, I
just want to be clear on the subject.

Thanks.
