What ever you use or do, don't get it into creeks and other surface waters.

For one Pennyroyal is a “highly toxic volatile organic compound” (1) and for that reason you should read the links I have provided so you can make an informed decision before applying these oils onto your skin such as doing a small (diluted) amount first to test for a reaction (2). It is apparent to me that Karin has built up a tolerance to both Eucalyptus and Pennyroyal so “dousing” herself isn’t harmful to her, but she would be the exception NOT the rule. You need to test these oils before you go out to the woods so you don't find out there you’re intolerant and become sick from their toxicity and never use them on children under six until you’ve had time to test them in stages of dilution which at this writing is not enough time before the gathering so I would suggest not using it on YOUR children until you’ve had the time to run a proper series of tests. Keep Pennyroyal away from your pets. If you are using it on your skin do not let your dog lick you (2).<br /><br />(1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mentha_pulegium <br />(2) http://web.archive.org/web/20080423092220/http://bitsandbrew.com/warning1.htm<br /><br />Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970866413479541866noreply@blogger.com
