So, I am assuming "never use tea tree oil as a personal lubricant" is pretty much a given?

Did you have a cut on your face? I used to put it on my face and it only stung when I had a cut. What kind of tea tree oil are you using?

Never ever put tea tree oil on a cut.

It said it was good for stuff like that. :tsk: Maybe for other parts of the body but not your face.


I'm ok now. :yesnod: I bought the stuff from a health store. There is no warning label on it. :dammit:



UM.... Jasper I would not even attempt to put that stuff on down there. Talk about balls on fire........ ;)

Tea tree oil is used in some hair products. Has a minty smell and tingles. http://www.teatreeoiluses.com/

Whilst in a soccer changing room, make sure your team-mates don't put deep heat rub in your underpants... :tsk:

I always heard if you put it on before you go to bed you will wake up with it gone. Never worked for me.

Thanks everyone. I'm ok. now. I only used it on a couple of spots. BUT although it burned like heck. It WORKED.

Yeah it sort of had the same effect as liquid heat. I bet Chasey ran real fast with that stuff in his pants. :laugh:
