Hi Butch,

 

The only credible support I have for my advice is the following :-) :

 

 

I have a sister that is allergic to eucalyptus in ANY from be it fresh

leaves, dried leaves and especially e.o. If she comes in contact with any

she has big issues, it will start with runny eyes, stuffy nose and if she's

around it long enough he airway will begin to close. I realize this is not a

pollen allergy. But allergies in any form can be a serious issue so I always

air

on the side of caution. I have another sister that is allergic to all forms

of citrus. Peel an orange in the same room as her and she begins to have a

reaction. She has walked into my house for unexpected visits while I had some

orange e.o. going in a nebulizing diffuser, another time I had neroli going.

The neroli wasn't as bad for her as the orange e.o. but either way she didn't

stay long because her allergies started to kick up on her. Rose has been no

problem for her, and neither has Jasmine or any of the others she's encountered

in my house. I feel, if one aspect of a plant is an allergen I'd rather avoid

the whole plant than try to find out which parts are ok or not. Especially

since I like my sisters lol. The out comes of such could be catastrophic while

in the same respect, as others have pointed out, every other part of the plant

could be no problem at all. My perspective comes strictly from what I've

encountered first hand and have elected my highly cautious perspective. I hope

this at the very least gives an idea of where my view comes from.

Sorry .. but that's convoluted logic. The shape of pollen is one thing

but a distilled oil is another .. if you can find any credible support

for any kind of similarity between the pollen and the oil .. then I'll

change my line of thinking. :-)

Shelley, i have the same allergy to pine pollen, if i am outside for very

long breathing the air while pine trees are pollenated, i understand they do so

7

times a year, i actually lose my voice for a day or so. I havn't found

anything to allievate it short of staying indoors on windy days. Thankfully

there's

only one pine tree in close proximity to my yard that presents a problem. I

have other allergys but the pine pollen is the only one that takes my voice

away. Would like to find something to help but i don't think there is anything.

Yours and His, Deonia
