Hi Talia-
I spent 4 years as a student at an Art College and now work there as
well. It is now college wide policy to NOT use paint thinner due to its
extraodinary toxicity. Almost 100 percent of our professors, who are
all professional artists, now are suffering from exposure to paint
thinner. They, hack, cough, spit phlegm, and have asthma, it gets worse
from there.... These people washed their hands in paint thinner and
turp. just like you!
The thinner doesn't just soak into your bloodstream but evaporates into
the air so when you breath it's inhaled into you lungs and through your
bronchial tubes.
We work hard here to convince new students and first time freshmen, no
slam on age it's just they are inexperienced, to at least switch to a
no odor low toxic substitute. These are available at your art store.

Go ahead and put these things in your henna but only when you apply it
to yourself. It is really not appropriate to apply paint thinner to
others, even if they consent. They may have an immediate reaction and
you will be charged for the visit to the emergency room.
Careful!
