I find  contradictory information about my allowed daily dose of shellac. 
Can some  expert please clarify.

1) From foodinfo.net: 
E904 =  shellac
Acceptable daily intake (ADI) : None determined 
Side effects: None known. 
Dietary restrictions: None. E904  can be used by all religious groups and 
vegetarians. 

2) wikipedia.fr,  however, says that shellac (French: gomme-lacque) may 
cause allergic reactions  and quotes from: 
Le Coz C-J., Leclere J-M., Arnoult E., Raison-Peyron N.,  Pons-Guiraud A., 
Vigan M., (2000). Allergic contact dermatitis from shellac in  mascara. 
Contact Dermatitis 46(3), pp. 149-152(6)  

This is in  fact contradictory. Now, has any of our list members 
experienced allergic  reactions from shellac? In what way? What was the dose? What was 
the time of  exposure? What was the remedy? Are you cured now?

Alergies?  I don't know.  But when I was a kid I got a good  shellacing, 
and I deserved it.  But it soon wore off.
