They've not had any health problems but it is good to always know how to use products with caution for our pets. Back in 2016 I had a torn meniscus tear on my right knee. I wanted to avoid the doctor and surgery. So I googled how to heal naturally … and this lady gave out the list of essential oils. I went to the health store to buy the small bottles and a small glass bottle to mix the liquids in. I didn’t think of getting a squeeze dropper. I thought I could just eye ball it. Well … as I applied the solution with a cotton ball to my knee … the fumes in the family room were sooooo potent my dog wasn’t looking good and I had a horrible headache. I had to air out the room and kept the bottles and solution in the garage and would only apply it when I was outdoors in the freezing cold. Thru prayers and faithfully applying the essential oils … plus wrapping up the knee with an Ace bandage and a cloth Velcro knee brace and using a cane … it took a few months but I did get healed. :yes: Thank you for sharing Geri Citronella helps deter mosquitoes too. We bought a citronella geranium and have it on our patio. Fewer mosquito bites this year.
