Tea tree oil, like any essential oil, can cause chemical burns, especially on thin or sensitive skin (or mucus membranes like in the vaginal, rectal and nasal regions).

If exposed, WASH WITH SOAP. It helps break down the oil and get it off your skin, water alone won't work as well because oils are hydrophobic.

Source; there was a time when some genius was telling AFAB people to put tea tree oil on sponges up in their bleed hole. You can imagine the results.

Oh no. I luckily have never had this experience. But I could already tell that it must be painful by the title. And yes, auch. I'm glad that the pain is over now for you!

Indeed. Be careful what you expose your private parts to.

Why wouldn't we be? If the vaccines prevent death in the elderly, without vaccines the curve still would have followed the same curve but with a lot more elderly deaths and a few less young deaths. We'd be about where we are now with or without them.

btw I enjoy downvotes from reddit proper because I've seen what this festering shitpile will upvote
