Using lavender and tea tree oil products can cause young boys to develop breast tissue, a study finds.The team at the NIEHS carried out tests on human cells and found pure lavender and tea tree oils could mimic the actions of female hormones and inhibit the effects of male hormones, and therefore disrupt the endocrine system in the body.
Ok then..no Lavender lotion for youngest born then...

I wonder if it has any effect on females?:erm:

Put pure tea tree oil on your skin and you'll not leave it there long... it irritates like heck...

It only takes a tiny amount of it to make my skin peel :( My partner used to use it all the time after working on the cars/bikes to keep thier hands in good condition but since we got together they're now banned from using it ;)

One the funniest things I ever saw was one of my (overweight) wrestler mates getting his moobs 'motorboated' by a female fan after the show. Had me in stiches for weeks.

Happened a year ago but until now no topic came up which was remotely connected enough for me to post about it :D
