Aw nuts!!!

Over the past couple of years I have suddenly developed allergies to nuts. Can you imagine no more cashews, peanuts, almonds, macadamias, snickers, reese's cups/pieces, payday's, salt water taffy, pecan pie....ok I have not fully come to accept this allergy. Anyway my allergic reactions generally come in the form of itchy red bump breakouts on my face, arms and legs. I used to be able to eat a little bit and be okay, but now eating a little bit causes my face to start itching. Having decided to go natural, I have become more aware of product ingredients and it seems that a lot of hair products contain almond oil, walnut oil and shea [nut] butter...say it ain't so! I am wondering now if that is why I have been having a lot more outbreaks without actually eating nuts directly. Well I am officially the test subject of my own research project now. The plan is to minimize my usage of any products with any form of nuts in them and see if my theory is correct. This puts a nice size dent in my "Product Junkie" grab bag :-(. Anyway a friend of mine said that Hair Whip by CoCo Blossom Salon and Spa is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will have to try it...maybe, gotta check that label first!
