My son had anaphylactic reactions to eggs and egg products, and life was horrible, to say the least. He would go to his father's on Friday night, and I tried making some eggs (I missed them SO much) right after he left.. when he came home Sunday afternoon, he'd start wheezing from just breathing the air. Eating at restaurants was obviously out of the question, and if he did not have his " medicine bag " with him, he was not allowed to eat. Period. He also knew that the medicine in that bag would NOT save his life, it would only buy time. We're not talking a cut or scrape here, we're talking about a life threatening reaction, and from the information I got at s Hopkins Hospital, where he was treated during his " allergic years " ... peanut allergies are just as severe, and the number of people with severe allergies is on the rise. PLEASE DO LIST all ingredients, no matter how mundane they seem to you. Legally, food manufacturers do not have to state anything less than 2% on their labels, and that is enough to cause someone to lose their life. One of Dan's worst reactions occured with an ice cream Three Musketeers bar... it did NOT contain eggs or egg products, but the company that manufactured them, also manufactures Bon Bons, and one of their varieties contains albumen, an egg derivitive. He had a reaction from cross contamination, which happens when the equipment used to make the product is not cleaned thoroughly enough. When I called the company, I was not able to learn anything, but s Hopkins was able to obtain the cross contamination information for me. Again, PLEASE list ALL ingredients.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Hi, Pat, No, there was no mad scientist in a kitchen involved here. My fragrance was purchased from a major manufacturer. I asked if using peanut oil was a normal occurrence and was told peanut oil was used in only 5 or 6 of their many, many fragrances. I just happened to choose the wrong fragrance, I guess. << > This is the first time I ever heard of peanut oil as a diluent/carrier > in a fragrance oil. This seems strange to me. Unless it is someone in a kitchen cutting their own oils that thinks they are making something better than a evil " synthetic " . Pat.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 I guess I'm just wondering how harmful a nut oil in that quantity > might be to those with allergies. , if I am figuring correctly you would be using 0.15% max. It would really depend on how allergic your customer is. I have a friend that is allergic to fish, or the iodine in fish, and he claims to have had a reaction from eating french fries that were fried in the same oil that was used to fry fish. Pat.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2001 Report Share Posted April 5, 2001 Pat, A common misconception is that allergy is dose response related. It is not!!! If you are allergic to a substance then it matters not how much or how little the substance is in a product the reaction will occur. Irritancy is dose response related. If she has peanut oil in her products and people have an allergy to this material they will react. No if's, and's or but's.

Since I don't have any known allergies I was going by what my friend had told me. He first became allergic to shell fish and then it was a progression through different fish, until finally he couldn't tolerate any type of fish. Pat. Peace, Joy, Serenity House of Scents tm.

Like Maurice, I too have never heard of peanut oil being used in a fragrance. You are lucky they disclosed it to you, because most fragrance manufacturers tend to keep their trade secrets. I thought it may have been one of the people that are cutting essential oils and selling them as natural fragrances. Pat. Peace, Joy, Serenity House of Scents tm.
