    Allergens by definition evoke an IGE immune response which is the bodies
    response to a foreign protein. Thus since TCP is a mineral no such
    response is possible. It might cause a sensitivity where is reacts with
    cells in the gut or blood stream that evoke a reaction (eg MSG, sulfite) and
    the secondary reactions might cause an immune like response. I have never
    heard of a reaction to TCP.
