[Sca-cooks] dyestuff toxicity?

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

Ok, I can't believe my books don't have this information, but I guess they
assume that you'll be using dyestuffs with mordants. Anybody have any
toxicity information for
- brazilwood
- bedstraw
- madder
- cochineal
- logwood
Alkanet should be safe as it's a period food colorant still used in
homemade Lipstick, right?
