Yeah the peppermint will get you lol Sometimes my boyfriend forgets he shouldn't use it on his junk and I hear his screams from the shower : p It's the peppermint essential oil in it. Essential oils are quite strong Dr. Bronners puts a LOT of essential oil in their products, if you mix a little of the soap with a little bit of water it will dilute it
If you ever get fleas, then for sure use Dawn. I have this teeny cat that was foisted on me (and he will have to have one of his eyes removed but that's another story) and little did I know it at the time but that poor kitty was just eaten up, infested with fleas. The vet told me the last time I took him, AFTER she had used flea meds the week before that he should be washed every other day with Dawn! My friend has been helping me with this, and it surely works to kill them...but I guess when there are a billion fleas on one little body, it takes a number of washes. I'm not worth a shit washing cats, or doing stuff like that, but I do try and love them...but that has NOTHING to do with anything. EXCEPT that if a wee cat that is probably just maybe 5 weeks old can be washed with Dawn and have no bad effects, I bet you could use it too. (especially if fleas are ever a problem lol ) This has been a very interesting thread.
This is true, I rarely ever give my dog flea treatment but I do wash her in dawn and she's never had fleas Disclaimer: not sure it works on dick fleas. Not FDA tested or approved
