Can tea tree oil cause a chemical burn?

I'm having a pretty bad reaction to it. My skin is red and some spots look waxy white and it does feel rough. I've been putting polysporin on it for the past 2 days but it's getting worse. Its about 3 inchs long and a inch wide. By description it sounds like a burn. I'm really not sure if the oil can really give a burn like this though? Would this also fit a severe contact dermatitis reaction? It was pure essential oil that I spilled and wiped off myself with tissue.





Thanks :-)Can tea tree oil cause a chemical burn?
When not diluted, tea tree oil is extremely harsh to skin. It's possible you caused a great deal of irritation and possibly triggered an allergic reaction. It sounds sort of like a patch of eczema, or pretty much contact dermatitis in this case (as you guessed!). Instead of using polysporin, pick up some hydrocortizone and some sort of topical antihistamine. If it doesn't get better after trying those two things, I would see a doctor. Good luck.Can tea tree oil cause a chemical burn?
Oh gosh I once used tea tree oil and had the same type of reaction. I went to the doctor and he didn't really tell me much other than tea tree oil always need to be diluted...and that I was allergic to it :/

About how long and how violent does an oil fire have to burn before the atmosphere starts raining oil?

It can't rain oil.About how long and how violent does an oil fire have to burn before the atmosphere starts raining oil?
When oil is burnt it forms soot, each particle of which is a group of carbon atoms with some other chemicals mixed in.





All of this soot will return to the earth, often with the rain.

  • HI Should a new car burn oil. I have had five or six new cars in my life and none burned oil.?

    the only vehicle i ever had to burn oil, had 130,000 on it and it burnt 1/2 quart every 3000 miles. it pulled big trailers, but was serviced well. however my friend bought one, that burnt oil from the start. he would drive it to the dealer once a week, have them check it, and document it. he keep complaining, so after six months with the proof of the vehicle burning oil from the dealership, they put in a new motor. after doing some other gasket and pcv valve work and such to try to make it stop.HI Should a new car burn oil.

    Burn oil?








    No...oil shouldnt just burn away.HI Should a new car burn oil. I have had five or six new cars in my life and none burned oil.?
    You neglect to tell us the brand of car. As a rule, new cars should not burn oil. In fact most cars these days do not burn oil until they get about 45-50,000 miles on them. See your dealer!
    Not uncommon during the break in of the piston rings to the cylinder walls (up to 1000 miles) that it can happen. Almost all cars today will not burn any even from the start. So yes it could, but after 1,000 miles if it still is then have the dealer check it out for your car at that point has a problem.
    No... Sounds like it isn't a new car. Or they screwed up putting the head gasket on.
    With today's engine tolerances automotive engines should not use any motor oil between manufactures changes.





    In the real world manufactures do have a silent wiggle period that owners aren't aware of to CTA (cover their as*s) should they build a lemon.





    Cadillac in 05 tried to convince my father that 1 quart in 1,200 miles was acceptable. It had 14,000 miles on it. They poured some mystery juice in the crankcase to free-up the piston rings which didn't work. Finally they dis-assembled the motor cleaned the pistons and added new piston rings. Wow what a difference 1 quart in 2,500 miles. What a piece of crap that car was.
    a qt every 3000 miles is acceptable
    i think but not a 100% it sounds like the piston rings may be starting to go bad. If it is new it should be under warrenty.
    are you seeing blue smoke in your exhaust? are you having to replace the oil often? how new is it?





    if you have the indicative blue smoke from burning oil, it is leaking inside the engine somewhere ... this is not a good sign ... it is a better question for the dealer and hopefully it is still under warranty ...
    unless your putting oil in the gas tank no it should not
    I don't believe it should

    Did we get a citrus oil burn in the bath?

    My s.o. and I were taking a nice bath and I added some citrus oil, just a few drops to our large jacuzzi-sized tub. After about 20 minutes of being in the water, the areas of our legs that were touching started to burn and tingle. Now it is really painful. It feels like a terrible sun burn. I've read about diluting essential oils- and they certainly were right? But why such a bad reaction and why only the area we were touching. Does it have anything to do with the body heat or our bodies keeping the oil against our skin? Also I know that some people just react to essential oils, but both of us? We also added some bath salt- maybe they reacted? Any ideas?Did we get a citrus oil burn in the bath?
    I think you would have been OK if you hadn't touched and it had dissipated in the water but obviously some of the concentrated oil was 'trapped' between you causing this reaction. These oils can be highly potent and as you already know shouldn't be applied directly to the skin.Did we get a citrus oil burn in the bath?
    Maybe ur body oils+hot water+citrus oil+ salt= chemical reaction/burn. those sound like some pretty strong ingredients. Try some aloe on it.

    How do i treat a oil burn which now swellen?

    Cool water, not cold. Ibuprofen for the swelling. Once it stops hurting you can apply antiseptic cream and a clean dressing.

    How can i convert my outdoor wood furnance to burn used motor oil?

    I don't know if I would reccomend it. Motor oil produces a lot of nasty, toxic, bad smelling stuff unless it is burned properly. IF you are sure it can be done, them I'm probably not the one to ask. A better option might be burning used cooking oil from restraunts, that's a lot cleaner burning.





    In either case, you are probably going to need to reclaim some parts from an old, dedicated oil burning furnace. If you can find a working burner assembly, and rig up a filtering system it might work. Be sure it's vented properly, as there is always a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.





    Good luck with that....
