Can Citronella And Eucalyptus Oils Be Used While Suffering From G6PD Deficiency?
Hi! This is a concerned mother with a G6PDD 4-year old daughter. My daughter just recently diagnosed with Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, she got hospitalized for almost 4days but she s fine and really doing good now... but my worries is, what if It might happen again and I dont want to take that risk anymore, if I can do something today for her .... anyways, just wanna ask if citronella and eucalyptus oil is a G6PDD friendly? I mean is it ok for someone who has a G6PDD to use those repellent lotions with citronella and eucalyptus? Thank you in advance for sharing your knowledge for us.GOD bless and more power!
