I have asthma, and I've been doing henna for years and years with
few problems: the main one was when I breathed the powder (I was
sifting it! It was an accident! :-) I've also had a sneezy-wheezy fit
from straight eucalyptus oil too. So I don't use it, for that and
many other reasons (I hate having my henna smell like a cough drop!)

rides are too bumpy for henna!)
