Allergy FYI on Shea Butter

[Guest guest]

Im not sure how true this is SO I encourage everyone to do there own

research and check just to have the information on hand......

On another Soaper's group it was posted that Shea Butter has slight

traces of natural latext in it.... So the warnings where of some people

with Latex and or Nut allergies MAY have an allergic reaction to shea.

Supposedly alot of the site that sell shea don't say anything, where

the allergy sites have it listed. There there is this one allergy site

that you can read that kinda sounds as though it may say its not so.

Here is the link: (http://www.allergicliving.com/columns.asp?feature=73)

just wanted to share.

Yes, I've heard the same thing before. I've also heard that anyone with a

true latex allergy is also allergic to strawberries and kiwi! Many who think

they're allergic to latex are actually allergic to the powder in latex gloves,

is another thing I've read. I don't know for sure, but it's all worth

looking into.
