Food allergies seem to be more and more common these days!! But the bright side is , it is great to know what the problem is...I get a rash from oil on my face across my cheeks. Is it all oils or just cooked oils?They make avocado oil (as I am sure you know). I also use walnut oil, which is good and flavorful, but of course if you have a problem with nuts, not for you. It well may be the processing like you said. I hope you find a good healthy fat that works for you and that you have a great week :)
