lavender can cause serious reactions

[Guest guest]

Beware of using lavender and other essential oils around chemically

sensitive people. One chemically sensitive person in our family gets " hit "

with lavender (yes, every brand, even organic pure stuff--the highest

quality, most expensive) just like formaldehyde and reacts to ONE drop on

someone's forehead in the room. Reaction: brain fog (confusion, stroke-type

symptoms) for hours.

Cedar (which, by the way, is not effective for moths) is also problematic.

Please don't think things are safe because they're natural.
