Thanks,
I would be interesting to try, but in my household the best result of
opening a bottle with d-limonene would be a trip to the ER.

Then you should avoid it, as those who are allergic to peanuts should
avoid peanut butter. D-limonene is not generally regarded as a
hazardous substance.

The "Alternative Medicine Review" quoted doesn't have a lot of
application in this instance. d-limonene is a sensitizer, like epoxy.
The more you are exposed to it the greater chance you have of having a
reaction.
But, as my timber framing instructor used to say: "Do what you want, you
will anyway".
