Hi...you reminded me of how good peppermint and spearmint...pennyroyal. ...all of the mint family oils really helps...Dogs are wonderful pets to have around. Whenever, I am with friends who have dogs...they seem to carry fleas with them when they visit me without their dogs. My sister dog sits for a neighbor, and when I drive her car, I pick up fleas...fleas...they come with parasites and it causes a lot of irritation under my skin. Fleas and Mosquitoes really carry the parasites and it takes lots of weeks before I am able to clear the irritation. Then, recently a dear friend visited and I dreaded needing to deal with the fleas...since he has the dog in his car most of the time. And I planned to ride in his car. How I dreaded the moment and expressed my fears to him, honestly, without not wanting to offend him. He said...Spearmint repels fleas...I gave it a try and covered my arms, legs and spine with Spearmint oil...Of course I smelled minty. but it was really worth it...for the first time I had no flea bites around my waist...Under normal circumstances...I would have them...but not this time! I remember a long time ago...a friend said she does not drink peppermint tea because...it makes her bottom itch...with worms...Hmmm…I guess it is a good idea to drop a few drops of spearmint oil in our bottle of water and drink it often to keep the parasites away. I also use a few drops of spearmint or peppermint oil in my liquid lotion I use for bathing. And use it in fruit salads a lot.

Apply rosemary oil on body of animal --mix with distilled water and spray with spray bottle also apply a few drops of pure essential oil with carrier oil--equal amount of drops as essential oil of rosemary--believe me it works --best thing.
