Joint relief creams toxic to animals

[Catherine]

I never use topical creams or liniments. The most I ever did was use some essential oils in the bath or to rub on my skin. They were edible oils so they were safe. I used rosemary and that is safe for animals. I used it to remove mites from hamsters. They were fine and it worked.

Maybe some of these joint creams are too strong and dangerous to be used regularly. Do you really want to rub something on your skin that can kill a dog or cat.

You were smart not to use sprays around Misty. I think few people realize that the fine mist from a spray ends up in your lungs.
That would absorb into the body faster than through the skin.

I think products need better warning labels and I think people need to be more careful.
