• Confirmed. Black Henna is potentially dangerous, and actually illegal. More information available at Black Henna on Wikipedia.

Black henna can also cause nifty patterns with no reaction whatsoever (thus how popular it is). Unlike peanuts and bees, it is illegal. Like other illegal substances, it has people who use it despite the law. I wouldn't do it, but then, I don't think my personal choices should dictate everybody's choices. —JabberWokky
