Eucalyptus Information:
Safety
Toxic Dosage
Undiluted eucalyptus oil's toxicity level depends on the size of the person consuming it, but tiny amounts can be dangerous, according to authors of a
2012 study published in "
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine." For an adult, a dose ranging from .05 to .5 milliliters per kilogram of body weight is probably lethal.
Children have experienced severe eucalyptus poisoning after ingesting 4 to 5 milliliters of pure essential eucalyptus oil. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/can-eucalyptus-oil-dangerous-8476

Essential Oil is used in medicines, foods, cosmetics and hair products to mention but a few.
It can help to ease bronchitis, flue and cold symptoms and troublesome coughs. It is also a fantastic insect repellent and a few drops on cotton buds placed in the corners of a room can rid your home of flee infestations. It is also useful for relieving insect bites, aching muscles and joints and adding a drop or two in water to soak tired feet will not disappoint them.
The hydro-sol--distilled milky water from distilling process mixed with a few drops of oil and shaken vigorously can eliminate and repel many pests from carpets, furniture, pet bedding, though applying it directly to cats fur or food because it is listed as being toxic for cats.
This mixture of hydro-sol and eucalyptus oil can also prove to be a gardeners organic weapon against vegetable and fruit pests, especially useful in green houses where insects can become a great nuisance.
It is very effective at repelling mosquito and other biting insects when rubbed on skin and dropped onto clothing, perhaps sprayed inside a tent when camping.
