How odd. Too bad they will never really know what caused her death. I
notice they didn't say if it was anaphalaxis. That is the nasty
allergic reaction where you swell, go into shock, and die. I have
that type of reaction to many normal everyday things so I could see
that someone could develope it to black henna. She had been exposed
for 25 years. It could have been something else she ate or drank. We
will never know.

We need to contact the paper to point out the differences between
henna(what they talked about in the article) and black henna(the hair
dye she was using). It is another case of how bad black henna can be.
Not how bad natural henna can be.
I'll tell you a few of the things that would give me that kind of
reaction: advil, asprin, aleve, iodine, orange juice, tagamet.....
GEt the idea. It could be anything. Also dying from asthma is not all
that uncommon.
