A member asked:
Is it bad to sprinkle eucalyptus leaves all over my house and keep a gallon bag of it open by my bed to repeal spiders? is it toxic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Use very little: You should use very little of that - like drops of oil. It may not cause any serious health effects but in high enough concentrations, it is flammable. In fact, some australian fires are exacerbated by eucalpytus oil.
