: Hello,
:
: I am a henna artist in Seattle, WA, USA and I am deeply concerned
: about the growing reports of "black henna". I came across your
: website and was shocked to see NO MENTION of the fact that what you
: are using is a NEUROTOXIN, and is NOT henna.
: Contrary to your claims that so-called "black henna" is "safe to
use",
: chemists, doctors, and many other knowledgeable professionals know
: otherwise. There are numerous reports being collected by the good
: folks at hennapage.com detailing the exact chemical dangers of PPD
: "Black Henna". PPD, or para-phenylendiamine, is known by the world
: health organization (among others) to be a toxin. The handling
: specifications mention not to breathe it and NOT to let it touch
the
: skin! By selling and applying this known transdermal toxin, you
are
: not only endangering others but harming yourself as well as any
: children or pets who may be nearby.
: In case you didn't know, henna is a plant and has been in use for
over
: 7,000 years. It does not "come in black" or cause kidney and liver
: damage as well as chemical burns. Nor does it enter the
bloodstream
: like PPD.
: PLEASE, educate yourselves about the danger you are doing to your
: clients' as well as your own health! Please visit
www.hennapage.com
: to learn more, and discover the healing magic of traditional henna
: body art.
: Finally, henna is *NOT* a tattoo. The word "tattoo" refers to the
: repetitive motion of a needle entering the skin. Henna does not
use
: needles, so your use of the word "tattoo" is very misleading.
: I speak for a growing number of real henna artists who are sick and
: tired of seeing chemical burns and illness caused by poison being
sold
: as henna. You are giving us a bad name.
:
: With Concern,
:
: Anne

: Please go to: http://www.hunza.com/mud/blackburn or follow
the "black
: henna" links on www.hennapage.com to find out what you're working
: with.
:
: : :::Time for a email onslaught maybe?

: : I second that!
