Hi so I obviously would never use tea tree oil on my hamster but Im wondering just quite how careful I should be about using it. I usually wash my hands before touching my hamster (unless he falls or something and I have to help him quickly) but I use tea tree skin products which obviously will remain on my hands especially the serum I use as it sinks into your skin. Im wondering if I should completely cut these products out of my skincare routine for snail’s sake or if I’m overreacting?
I also don’t think my soaps have it but some have tea tree oil in them and I dont know if that would also affect them? Anyone have any ideas?
