[RC] Tea Tree Oil/possible problem - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Skyla slstewart@xxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== My horse ended up with horrid burns under the saddle. I had been treating some areas that a pad had "dehaired" and sored, with Melaluca (tea tree oil). I rode once after using this for several days, and had massive burns and swelling, right where I had been using the oil. Maybe my guy was allergic, maybe there was something else that contributed in conjunction with the oil. Just wanted to say, be careful with what and WHERE you treat. Hopefully no one will ever have happen what I did. ============================================================ You don't have to be a 100-mile rider or a multi-day rider to be an endurance rider, but if you want to experience the finest challenges our sport has to offer, you need to do both of those. ~ Joe Long ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
