In reply to: EO allergy questions to ask posted by Alissa on September 20, 2001 at 22:09:49:

: What does one ask to find out if someone has an allergy to tea
tree?
: Cajeput was ben-gay, icy hot, that sort of thing right?

Since tea tree, cajeput, niaouli (or however the heck you spell it),
and eucalyptus are all from the melelucua family, chances are if a
person has an allergy to one, they will have an allergy to all of
them, probably. Everyone's different, I have a little sign on my
table asking that a person please let me know if they have allergies
to tea tree or eucalyptus (since most folks don't know what cajeput
is) or if they're pregnant. Even though a woman might not seem to be
with child (i.e. belly out to there>>) she might be, and in that
first trimester is when a little one's habitat could be messed with
by certain oils.
