Sabrina emailed me about the source and nature of her rash ... the oil
she got with her henna kit smelled a lot more like lamp oil or bad
camphor than eucalypus ... this isn't the first time I've heard of
people having nasty reactions to dodgy oil. I've had blistering from
"mehlabiya oil" myself.
In short ... the henna wasn't the problem. Someone's trying to
stretch out their oil with ugly adulterants, and it's hurting people.
