Keep it away

Described signs

Vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and allergic reactions; on the skin it can cause contact irritation. The source adds that repeated, long-term use is associated with a tendency to bleed. Chamomile essential oil does not belong here: it is the concentrated form, it has a warning of its own and it is a good deal more serious, especially in cats.
