I emailed them at "latestnews@newscientist.com" asking for a
corrected article, and a response.
I told them it was good that they were trying to educate people but
that they needed to make a clearer distinction between real henna and
PPD, as well as between real henna and "temporary tattoos".
Have fun emailing them if you want.

: 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.
