8 days after the Tea Tree oil incident…
Okay, it’s been eight days. The Curmudgeon is still not back up to how well he was before the idiot stylist shampooed his hair with the Tea Tree oil shampoo. He is not walking well and has had to resort to using his walker off and on. This is a total set back from where he was eight days ago.
All we can do is wait and see if it eventually gets out of his system and he gains some of what he lost back. Two steps forward and three steps back is not a good thing.
Please, tell manufacturers that use Tea Tree oil as one of their ingredients to put warning labels on their products. The life of a person with a disease like MS is difficult enough, they do not need things like this to worsen their condition.
We want more of this
And less of this.
Three days after the Tea Tree oil incident
The Curmudgeon is still not quite back to where he was before. Thanks to the idiot who used the Tea Tree oil infused shampoo on him. It is almost as if he had an MS relapse, although with secondary Progressive MS he doesn’t have those, it’s more a steady but slow downhill journey.
At least today he could walk, and he managed to do his normal daily routine, although with some effort. That’s a blessing. Maybe in a few more days he’ll be back to where he was before the stylist used the Tea Tree Oil shampoo. I hope so.
What you got there Dad? You gonna share it?
Tea Tree oil warning. Again.
I have commented on the dangers of Tea Tree oil before, and here we go again. I spent the day yesterday watching The Curmudgeon struggle to walk. Why? Because the day before, he went to get his hair cut, and the gal that did it, did not warn him, did not ask him if it was okay to use, instead she just began to shampoo his head with a shampoo containing Tea Tree oil.
Had he not noticed the scent and asked if Tea Tree oil was in the shampoo it could’ve been worse. He yelled, “get it off, get it off, I have a bad reaction to it!” She washed his hair twice with another shampoo but even then it was not enough. When he woke yesterday he was barely able to walk.
Tea Tree oil can cause severe reactions in people (and pets) and should never be used without asking if the person (or pet) has ever had a reaction to it. The Curmudgeon’s MS is deeply affected by Tea Tree oil.
Years ago, one of our dogs had a severe reaction to it too. We were told to put it on an inter-digital cyst and when we did his foot swelled to football size. Thank goodness for Benedryl and a good vet.
Please, use it with caution!!!! The damned stuff needs a warning label and shouldn’t be put willy-nilly into everything.
