I really like Tom’s Of Maine toothpaste and I have never had a problem with it until I tried their Cinnamint flavor for the first time yesterday.

About 10 seconds into brushing, the toothpaste started to burn, considerably, so I washed out my mouth and grabbed an old tube of Colgate I had and finished the job. I was lucky.

About 15 minutes after I had brushed Kat ran in to the room exclaiming, “What the hell is this rash on my face”? I knew instantly it was the toothpaste. She had a bright red rash all around her mouth. Luckily some cream cleared it up within 24 hours, but it was pretty gross.

Just a warning to anyone is thinking of try their cinnamint flavor. Maybe we both have the same allergy. I doubt it considering you can feel the stuff singing away at your mouth!

Update

I stumbled upon this review on Amazon.com

We love Toms products, see my review on the spearmint, which we love, but the cinnamint flavor is way too spicy for my mouth, and even burns my face. - Amazon Review

So I know at least I am not crazy.
