Re: RC: Melaleuca Oil AKA Tea Tree Oil

I would advise anyone intending to use this on their horse, particularly
full strength, to try it on a small area first. It can burn like hell in a
cut, too. (personal experience)
Some horses are remarkably sensitive to it, and I have seen a few godawful
reactions--oozing raw wounds that were minor before the TTO.

I have also seen reports in the veterinary literature of severe toxic
reactions on cats, for those of you with other critters.
