Have there been phototoxic reactions to bergamot oil aromatherapy?

Fortunately, when bergamot oil is administered by inhalation, as in aromatherapy, it is has rarely been associated with phototoxicity,^[1] although there has been one case report of blistering when aerosolized aromatherapy in a moist sauna environment was followed by a tanning bed session.^[2] Phototoxicity can be completely avoided by using bergapten-free bergamot oil (BEO-BF) or furanocoumarin-free bergamot oil (BEO-FCF or Bergamot FCF), which can be produced by vacuum distillation or by removal of the bergapten and/or furanocoumarins from the cold-pressed oil.^[3] Vacuum-distilled bergamot oil is bergapten-free.^[4]
