I read somewhere that basically all essential oils are dangerous because they are so concentrated. They have to be diluted to be safe. The article claimed that some individuals had given themselves an allergy to lavender by using the essential oil undiluted.
Unfortunately I don't have a reference (read that a few years ago). Would be interested to know if it's true.
