People sometimes have reactions to clove oil, but I don't think it's
usually systemic. The "tattoo" she got may be the culprit, but if it
was just paint, again, probably not. I don't think this was your
fault, but you may want to consider not using clove in the future
with people you don't know.

: Hi to everyone on this forum. I am a 30yo Chinese boy living in a
: tropical island called Singapore, was introduced to this
: wonderful forum by Jewel.
: Lurked for a while b4 posting, enjoyed and benefited from the
: posts & webpages of all the henna pros. Actually I only started
: doing henna in August. (That was when I got the confidence
: know that EO and GOOD HENNA helps A GREAT DEAL, & I
: finally make henna that give a respectable stain.)
: I needed some comments on an incident that made my
: eyebrows knot up...
: A lady whom I hennaed at a party turned up at the next party
: which I was doing henna (Singapore is a very small place!). She
: asked me what I put inside my mix cos she got an ALLERGIC
: reaction.)
: My heart sank.
: Further probing reveals that the reaction was not geographical. It
: was her whole body that went red and itchy the next day.
: I gave her my recipe...(2 tbsp spoon of paste) lemon juice (3
: tbsp), sugar (1 tsp), tea tree oil (1 tsp), lavender oil (5 drop)
and
: clove oil (5 drop) and asked her if she was allergic to any of
: those. She shook her head while giving me a "you are keeping a
: trade secret" look.
:
: I suspected it is something she drank or ate. (Very possible!)
: I suspected it is the "black body paint tattoo "that she had 2 days
: ago in Bangkok. (Nah! not very possible)
: She suspected it is me. (Poor me.)
: She denied eating or drinking anything. (Bullshit, everyone was
: stuffing themself at the party except me.)
: Any similiar experience from the pros?
