Recently we had an inquiry about the possibilty of an allergic reaction to
bees wax from external contact. The area involved was around the
mouth...the skin was red, swollen and there were some small skin eruptions.
Is this possible?
Do you know of a specific ingredient producing this reaction? Could it be
caused by bacterial, viral or yeast transmission?
If BEE-L doesn't have the answer, who would you recommend contacting?
Your attention to this inquiry is appreciated.
