People's chemical make-up can change and you can have an allergic reaction to something you have used/eaten/been exposed to before. I am a good example of that. Until two years ago, I could eat any kind of shellfish without adverse reaction. One day, I had a crab sandwich and broke out in horrible hives, requiring antihistamines IV. Allergy testing showed that I am allergic now to most types of shellfish (though I do okay with lobster and oysters). I also am now allergic to Ivory Soap and never was before.

I've used nair a lot on my legs and arms before. And I get the sensative ones that you can use for the bikini zone. And I tried it. Did the whole bikini thing, and as I gently washed it away with warm water I saw little specs of blood. Yep.. bright red blood speckled my inner thighs, with a bit of stinging pain to boot.

I must agree with the former rebuttal, it CLEARLY states on the package that it is RECOMMENDED that you do a patch test before proceeding. I myself am allergic to certain hair removal products, and learned the hard way that a patch test is a minor, yet effective precaution.

Just like with all chemical products, some people may not be able to use it, due to an allergy or sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients. That is why it is always best to do a "patch test" and try it in a very small area before using it all over. That way you can determine if you have any adverse reaction, redness, itching, etc.
