Australian tea tree oil
Historically, 1,8-cineole was identified as the irritating component of tea tree oil. Two studies were conducted to determine if 1,8-cineole was responsible for the allergic contact eczema. In one study, a patient who had experienced a reaction to tea tree oil underwent patch tests and had a positive reaction to undiluted tea tree oil and to the constituent eucalyptol (1,8-cineole).(f.28) Another study examined seven patients who had developed a sensitivity after applying undiluted tea tree oil to a pre-existing skin condition.(f.5) These seven along with 20 control patients (unbroken skin and no prior sensitivity reaction) were patch tested with a one per cent solution of tea tree oil, a one per cent concentration of 11 of the main constituents in the essential oil and five per cent [Symbol Not Transcribed]-carvone, a chemical known to cause sensitivity. Some patients were also patch tested with higher concentrations (5% and 10%) of the constituents. All seven of the test patients reacted to the one per cent solution of tea tree oil and to at least one of the following three constituents: [Symbol Not Transcribed]-limonene, [Symbol Not Transcribed]-terpinene and aromadendrene. Terpinene-4-ol, [Symbol Not Transcribed]-cymene and [Symbol Not Transcribed]-phellandrene caused a reaction in one patient each. Control patients were negative to all except the higher concentrations of the oil. This study found no evidence implicating 1,8-cineole as an allergen or irritant.(f.5)

Hidden Lives by Margaret Forster
A hundred years ago, it had been the only option she had. She wasn't famous, I told my friend. She hadn't made her mark on history but the limitations and struggles she had faced and how she dealt with them fascinated me, as a woman. Would it make a book? \"Read Hidden Lives,\" my girlfriend said. I bought it on the way home that evening - a paperback whose front was a collage of black-and-white photographs taken in different decades of the 20th century. Hidden Lives, it read, a family memoir. I looked at the people on the cover, wondered who they were, where they were. Then I opened the first page and was hooked.
