In reply to: henna about to be forbidden in Sweden.... posted by Pierre on August 21, 2001 at 14:50:27:

: Several swedish magazines, TV and radio has said that henna will be
: forbidden due to a EU report.

: To read the report:

If they're outlawing henna, they're misinterpreting the papers.
Misinterpretation is hardly unusual in media and government.... I hope
some's just reading it wrong.

These papers indicate that pure lawsone is toxic, but the level of
lawsone in henna is harmless.
They're identifying PPD as the culprit in all the problems, and if
they're outlawing PPD in body art, that's wonderful!
