not happy

First of all, I am a little displeased by the responses of people who
say things like "you got what you deserved" to people who have posted
messages about adverse effects from black henna. Hey, we all make
mistakes. I too am one of those people who really had no idea about
the risks of the ingredients of black henna. I recently was visiting
VENICE BEACH with my volleyball team and about 10 of us received
henna tatoos. There was no list of ingredients, no posted warnings,
only the word 'henna'. That is very misleading as henna is natural,
whereas the additional ingredients are not. Four of us are
experiencing a rash, itchiness, and who knows what else is in store
for us. I am more mad at myself for being stupid and not researching
this before I jumped into it, but the damage is done (literally). We
are going to the doctor tomorrow to get something to try to prevent
any long term damage to our skin. I am disgusted that there are
people out there who are using these products without informing the
customers of the potential risks. All for a quick buck...
