Caution for those with terpine (turpine) allergies. I am not trying to be an alarmist. I was diagnosed with a turpine allergy, and now I am going to rethink the pine tar thing. That is why I do not use Organics Mayo due to the use of peanut oil to which I am highly allergic. I did not want to get it through the skin either. Maybe substitute emu oil, which is an excellent transdermal carrier. Oh well, just thought I would share this caution>in research mode. I cannot guarantee how relevant this is to the pine tar ingredients in the Glover's medicated ointment but I know we are all very health minded and need to look out for one another. Bonjour.
