Well, even if you don't, it's the thought that counts and it's appreciated. LOL, I know...just my luck, huh? Talk about putting a damper on the fun.

Ooh, sounds good. Thank you! I found out the hard way that I was allergic to saffron when I went to Spain on vacation...kind of ruined the whole trip coming down with a horrendous case of hives my first day there.

I'm hoping that it won't hurt me wearing it in perfume, I hate note being able to eat it...I love paella. I guess I'll find out soon enough. If you hear me screaming bloody murder all the way here on the boards, you'll know all did not go according to plan. ~ Penance

Good idea. I'm just waiting for someone to laugh at me if I do end up looking like a pepperoni pizza...it'll be my own damn fault. Will I never learn? Thanks for the input! ~ Penance

This may seem like a strange question...I'm allergic to saffron in that I can't eat it. Never tried wearing it on my skin, but I was wondering if anyone thought I'd have a problem with wearing it since I've got some Scherezade coming to me quite soon. It's not like it'll kill me or anything, just make me break out in hives. I figure it's worth a shot to try and wear it, but I'd like to be forewarned. Just in case...because I'm one of those people who'll deliberately touch a hot plate right after you tell them it's scalding hot just to see how hot it really was. Anyone want to take a stab at it? ~ Penance

Another idea would be to use one of the glass stir rods that they use in laboratories for application. Glass is sterilizable and it doesn't absorb scent (at least not too bad), so they'd be perfect for the job. Just a thought. ~ Penance
