Occasionally I get a little itchy. It tends to be when my allergies
are acting up and my skin is very dry in the fall. I just chalked it
up to lemon juice irritating already very dry skin. Your problem is
sounding more serious than that with the throbbing of your fingers
and such but I have to ask is your skin dry? If you rubbed lemon
juice only or rosewater only on your skin would it be more
irritated/allergic?

: I bought some henna that leaves a brilliant orange stain even
before
: it dries. It was mixed with lemon and rosewater only. This is what
I
: always use. (No terps this time) I did a small design on the
inside
: of my arm but had to remove the paste when it started itching.
: Cortizone cream relieved the itching.
: Thinking that I imagined it all, I did a design on my palm. Within
: 10 minutes my palm was itching and my fingers were throbbing so I
: washed it off. This morning the design has darkend to burnt
orange.
: Has anyone else ever had this happen? Could it just be me? The
: fields around our house are full of ragweed right now.
