Q.Earlier today I sent you an email about one of your insect repellent recipes. Cloves were to be boiled which will release clove oi
l. I have read that clove oil is cancer causing. Folks probably will not wash their vegetables enough to remove the oil. Could yo u check this out and take cloves out as a selection in the recipe?
The cloves are in the section titled “Eco-Friendly Insect Spray: Using…”
The recipe was for “Organic Bug Spray For Plants.”
Thank you for taking my concern seriously and for your marvelous your website which is most informative.
