It might be worth taking a tiny amount of CS -- say, 1/4 teaspoon -- in 8 
ounces of good water and seeing if there are any negative reactions. 
If it were me, I'd start by putting some CS on a cotton ball and rubbing it 
on various places on her body -- fingers where rings go, wrists, inside of 
elbows, etc. -- sensitive areas.  If no reaction, then I'd try using it as a 
mouthwash.  If no reaction, then I'd try ingesting a small amount.  This would 
be 
less scary to me.  FWIW.   MA
