Dr. Desai recommends 5-minute applications on the palms because the treatment can irritate the face and eyes.
Linda F. Stein Gold, MD, of Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, told the audience about the case of a teacher who touched his eyes after applying the treatment. He went to school, felt ill, and ended up in an emergency department because he had an enlarged pupil. “You just have to tell people this can happen,” she said.
Dr. Desai reported no relevant disclosures.
