[rosacea] Re: tea tree and cats

susie,

sea buckthorn oil is considered a carrier oil, while tea tree oil is
an essential oil - a pure volatile oil extracted from aromatic plant
products normally extracted by distillation.

i'm unsure where i first read it, but a google search will give you
lots of info on cats and essential oils, and how they're a bad match.

but i know this from experience. cleo, one of my cats, had a nasty
flea infestation, so i dabbed some essential oils on my hands and
patted her down, knowing that fleas hate certain oils. she almost
immediately began sneezing, foaming at the mouth, and staggering in
circles. i had to immediately bathe her. believe me, i won't make this
mistake again!
