By your description, she was using ppd. (Some of the formulations of ppd are activated by peroxide. That would be the liquid in question. ) I am happy for you that you were not harmed. However, looking at the product known hazard statement on ppd that Jeremy posted, (linked below) it's quite certain that any person regularly mixing and applying ppd is going to suffer tragic health consequences, because they are inevitably inhaling some of the ppd! So ... if she didn't hurt you, she certainly hurt herself! I've already forwarded you the simple henna chem rant, let me know if you need the full chemistry rant in 4 part harmony.
