I worked a fair last night and numerous people came to me to tell me
about an article they read in the Pasadena Star News about a lady who
died, as a result of an allergic reaction to henna. As you can see
from the article http://www.pasadenastarnews.com/s-Asp-
bin/link/Link.asp?puid=1397&spuid=1397&indx=855613&article=on&URL=http
://www.pasadenastarnews.com/s-asp-bin/ref/index.asp?puid=1397 This
is not great press for us. My own feeling is the asthma attack was
more likley induced by the powder (dust) than the aplication. But
the damage has already been done. I'm not familliar with this brand,
so there's no telling if something more sinister was involved. Just
thought you would be interested in this. Sorry about the double
post,I hit the the enter key instead of the Shift.
