    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    Hi all, and thanks so much for your friendly and lovely replies! It's so nice not to be treated like a freak for once - I don't know if Chin has ever experienced anything like this, but here in the UK (where I live), I've all but given up going out to restaurants to eat because even if I phone up ahead of actually going, I get treated like somehow I'm causing trouble deliberately or being awkward just to be difficult So I get a bit embarrassed having to ask, but for the sake of my health, I guess I have to Still... I'm going to make me a greatbiglonghuge list of everything I want to buy and then email it to the lab - poor things, I apologise in advance to them!

    Allergy Questions, Allergies and other reactions to oils

    I don't know if this is a question which has ever come up before, and I know I can be seen as being dreadfully awkward, but I'd really like to know which perfume blends, if any, contain any kind of nut oils or extracts that aren't listed in the descriptions. For me, it's a particularly pertinent problem (as for many others, or so I believe): I am severely, severely allergic to nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews, coconut etc) - to an extent where if someone else has been eating nuts and they touch my skin, I can have an anaphylactic shock reaction through skin contact - and that, if not treated immediately with anti-histamines and adrenaline, could be fatal. I'm so keen to buy some of these amazing-sounding blends, but obviously I'm at a bit of a loss to know which ones are going to be 'safe' for me to use! Please could some kind soul give me some information about this?
