A member asked:
Can my g6pd kids use laundry liquid or body wash contains low concentration of eucalyptus oil or peppermint oil?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Sounds fine: Laundry detergents and bath soaps or body washes do not cause any more problems in G6PD kids compared with in non-G6PD kids. Restrictions for G6PD people are mainly about certain foods and certain medicines.
