    eucalyptus oil

    Kinda random but does anyone have any idea if eucalyptus oil will bother my bp?

    I have a very stuffy nose and the oil really helps clear it up. So I have a thing that spreads the oil around the room (the tank is in my room).

    Any thoughts on if that could be bad for her?

    I had a friend who's BP was sensitive to lavender oil (in incense a room away), any trace of dust in the substrate (no aspen), and just generally would act up with RI like symptoms to certain substances. Her other BP never showed the signs or ever had anything but a clean bill of health from the vet. I'd keep an eye on your BP, and find a different solution (keep him in a different room, turn off the dispenser, something that works for you) at any sign of wheezing, clicks, or other respiratory distress

    Can't speak from personal experience but I wouldn't. With a ball having a single lung and all, why risk it? Any way you could have a vaporizer or nebulizer in another area of your house that you could use rather than saturate the air with it? More localized instead of the entire room. Neti pots work well too. The results are...impressive, lol! I wouldn't use one in front of your significant other or with any spectators but they're great for clearing out congestion if that's what's bothering you.

    I was looking for an excuse to be lazy lol but that's why I asked and if it isn't safe I'll move her out for the night.

    I tired something essentially like a squirt bottle and didn't really like it, don't know if the neti pot is better.

    Make sure you use properly sourced water for a neti pot....several deaths have been attributed to neti pot usage due to improper water and cleaning of the pot before use. The deaths occurred via bacterial meningitis/encephalitis.

    Excellent point and thanks for bringing that up! Says as much in the directions but thanks for mentioning it nonetheless. Yeah, like I said...don't do it with an audience, lmao!
