I agree with your sentiments. Do you know if I am correct in thinking that

anaphylactic shock can only be caused by agents containing proteins (ie not

eos)?

Thanks.

Dear Helen,

 

I've asked Jean to see if she can track down a copy of the incident

mentioned. And, yes, given the mechanisms of " shock " due to proteins, like

bee venom, etc., eo's would not show this risk. This has only been theorised

to be the cause for skin allergies - eo compounds combining with proteins in

skin...

 

Cheers, Ron Guba
