Can Eucalyptus Fibers Affect My Eucalyptus Allergy?

Question
Can eucalyptus fibers in bedding impact people with a eucalyptus allergy?
Answer

The fabric used for eucalyptus bedding contains the pulped wood of the eucalyptus tree. This bedding is not made from the leaves of the eucalyptus plant. If you have a eucalyptus allergy, it is usually triggered after exposure to the leaves. You should be fine with this type of bedding including sheets. In other words, even if you have a bad reaction to eucalyptus scent, oil, or other products, you should be okay.
