Don't know if you all saw this article from the New Scientist while I
was off the forum, but it's a somewhat misleading "expose'" on how "A
trendy henna tattoo could cause you months of pain and discomfort".
Only four paragraphs down does it actually mention PPD, and then in
an unclear way. It does not mention that henna has been in use for
9000 years, nor that real henna has no problems associated with it.

The link is: www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=nw99991160.

I'm going to check it out and see if there's an email for the author.
