Salicylates, My Heart Pounding Anxiety

[BobbyKat LittleCub]

I really need a better list of high Salicylate products. I use Tea Tree Oil on my face because it's the only thing that works on me for redness due to mites I'm apparently allergic to. Any way, I usually just use one drop in skin cleanser, but my cat jumped up right when I was using the dropper. Oops! Oh well, I went ahead and washed my face with it and wiped it off. Now my heart is pounding out of my chest and the anxiety is horrible. It always happens with Sals for me among other symptoms.

Does anyone else have these symptoms with Sals? Also, I don't know how much Sals is in Tea Tree Oil, because of conflicting information. I know it wasn't what I ate because I been eating plain oatmeal and drinking water all week.

Correlations of the components of tea tree oil with its antibacterial effects and skin irritation

Seems like tea tree oil is pretty harsh.  

Facial redness with Celiac Disease could be a sign of vitamin deficiencies or Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  Has your doctor taken a biopsy of the rash to rule out DH?  If it is DH, have you figured out where the gluten is coming from? 

Vitamin deficiency in Niacin(B3), Riboflavin(B2), Pyridoxine(B6), and B12 (Cobalamine) can cause facial redness.  Vitamin C deficiency can cause skin problems. Vitamin A and also iron deficiency can affect the skin, too.

Are you taking a B Complex vitamin supplement?  

Tea tree oil was too strong for my skin and caused redness and burning.  

If it is dust mites, try lavender, orange peel, or bay leaf under your pillow.  Bugs hate these naturally bug repellent plants.

  Hope this helps!
