Chemical free tick spray - Page 2

Thanks Vox - I wasn't quite sure what she wanted from me.  Anyway, I just have a hard time doing the application of Revolution - when maybe there is something better (safer) out there that does the job. 

vox,  although my post was clearly dripping in sarcasm, the distinction between "safe" and "unsafe" chemicals is sometimes a hazy line. especially when chemical sensitivities are involved, which is why it is valid to ask for clarification.

Aspirin has been in use for over 100 years yet it is potentially deadly to some people.  Corn can be toxic to someone who has a severe food allergy.  Commonplace compounds can be dangerous to a slim percentage of the population.  On the other hand, neurotoxins and pesiticides can be benign to human and dog alike.

So, let me restate my question to Renz... Are we dealing with known chemical sensitivities? 

 SchHBabe,

Sadly, you are wasting your time trying to educate about what is and is not a chemical, what is and is not toxic, and what is the risk vs benefit of any substance. I have been trying for years here to help, but too many simply do not have the desire to learn or the background. They would prefer to listen to the next person on the internet that tells them what they want to hear rather than actually learn something and think it through. A person posting on this DB just in the past few days has probably learned a terrible lesson, at the expense of her dog suffering two seizures, about how important an efficacious tick preventive is. No, there are likely no known sensitivities here, just paranoia that is unfounded.

But thanks for trying. I have given up.
