Given the headlines today - should we really be worried?

I use hair dye containing PPD (para-phenylenediamine) every six to eight weeks.

I have developed a serious allergy to bee and wasp stings recently (need to carry epi pen) Don't know whether this is relevant or not.

Hair dye doesn't seem to affect me although I do experience the slightest of tingling in a very small area of scalp at back of neck when I first apply it.

Would welcome everyone's thoughts/advice about this. Or equally, any advice about effective alternatives?
