A good friend recently pulled a dumb stunt that could have been a lot worse. She was using an essential oil diluted with water to keep wasps out of the hummingbird feeder. She was mixing a batch with the dropper out of the bottle to speed things up and dumped almost all of it in. She added more water then without thinking put in the fridge. Next morning she grabbed what was supposed to be the water bottle and took a swig, that woke her up! When we talked her tongue was numb and throat very sore. She said she would call the poison control center, she is a half hour from the nearest hospital, but later confessed she didn't do it. DanG she is stubborn!! Fortunately she didn't suffer any long term side effects but that stuff is nothing to mess with.

OK, tell me a bit more about this solution to keep wasps out.  I ain't gonna drink it.

I am curious about how she was using it as well, I'll ask.
