RE: Day 724: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: bacteria
No just drip the lavender right on any cut - keep it handy, with your fishing gear. It's a fairly inexpensive oil as far as essential oils go, and a small bottle goes a long way. Won't hurt, use it undiluted. REALLY good for kitchen burns too. I;d use the lavender immediately and a few more times in the first twelve hours. If infection sets in try honey, but if that doesn't do it right away, get some help. That bacteria is really bad!
Uhm... There are people who are allergic to lavender. Ever been on the "lavender island".. If I remember it well it's in Italy or perhaps Spain. The air of lavender growing there (plus they make oil etc out of it) already did make me sick. Still have some lavender in my garden (the wolves kill it by rolling over). I like the smell but as oil it is a big no. Pity enough.

Yes a LOT of people are allergic to lavender. Sorry to hear you are one of them, it's a great oil for everyday cuts and burns. It must be a very hard thing to be allergic too because it's used so much in perfumes deodorants and scents.
I do not use all those things you mention. Didn't know so many are allergic to it. 🤔 I wonder what causes it.
Being allergic to nature is a problem for sure.
Happy day, thanks for responding. 💕
@owasco thank you, I have a bottle of lavender oil I will try it, and I have aloe that I use for burns even sunburn. yes, that bacteria is right out of horror books.
