Isn't it about time that you let us know what the answer is? I surely am not going to buy the product if it is going to produce these symptoms. I'll buy a similar product from a retailer that investigates these issues and acts on what they find out. It’s been almost two years since you posted this reply from a CVS representative.

My personal advice would be to contact the company directly, and see what they have to say about it. If you do, please let us know how it goes. Since there may be an allergic reaction of some kind involved, of course, you've probably stopped using the product. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Hope you feel better.

I seem to be getting little prickly sensations which sometimes actually presents as little tiny splinters. I couldn't imagine what was causing this discomfort and little pimples on my hands. Is there something in this product that would cause this problem?? I am about to see a doctor to try and investigate this problem. Please help if you can. I have been using the earth essentials paper
