I think I found out why my skin reacted so badly to Stevia. It dried out my skin, caused a itchy rash to my neck and break outs along the jaw area. I found out on Web MD that anyone who is allergic to certain plants might have an adverse reaction from Stevia. This answers my question...I am highly allergic to ragweed. Just thought I'd pass this info along.....
Allergy to ragweed and related plants: Stevia might cause an allergic reaction in people who are sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae family of plants. This family includes ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds, daisies, and many other plants.
