Someone please help. I got pine o clean in my eyes about an hour ago. I washed it with water but still very itchy and a little sore.
URGENT!!!! Pine o clean in eyes.?
If you rinsed it well with water, that is about all you can do. The itch and soreness is a result of the damage to the very sensitive outer layer of the eye. It probably feels like sandpaper. This will probably clear up in a day or so. I accidentally dropped a drop of super glue in my eye (I thought it was eyedrops at first, till the burning started). I held my eye open while I rinsed it for 20 minutes or so. It hurt like heck for the rest of the day, then felt better the next day. Quickly rinsing it out of your eyes was the best thing you could do.
Reply:Keep flushing them with water. You may wish to go to the emergency room, too.
Reply:You seriously need to call poison control and they will be able to direct you on what to do next.
Reply:keep rinsing it alot with water.
Reply:keep putting water on your eyes and try not to rub them. If they still hurt, go to the doctor!
Reply:call the er immidietly if it's really bad.. it could be serious. BUt thats just if its really really bad.

Feline Pine Scoopable in Bulk?
I've been using FPS for over a year now and love the litter but hate the price! I emailed Feline Pine to find out about purchasing it more in bulk compared to the 4lb boxes I was getting for $5 and they mapped a place down the road that has 11lb bags for $10. Not MUCH of a difference but it IS when you figure that 1 11lb. bag will fill all 4 rabbit cages, little bunny litter pans and the cat pans for about a week! The problem is that every week or so I need to go spend another $10 + tax to get another 11lb. I'd even consider paying shipping for larger bags if it's worth it, etc. I've recently been contemplating saying 'screw it!' to the scoopable and just getting the regular heavy pellets since it's cheaper. I'm not sure if the pellet litter will go as far but it is a few dollars less for a large bag. Anyone?
Feline Pine Scoopable in Bulk?
I go even cheaper.. The wood pellets for burning in a pellet stove are manufactured in the same way as regular feline pine. You just have to make sure not to buy one that has a propellant or any kind of other chemical additive. Most are just processed sawdust just like Feline Pine. Another option is to call around the feed stores and see if they have pelleted bedding. It's also the same pellets as Feline Pine, only it's sold in a 40-50 lb bag..
I only pay $4.99 for 40 lbs... I compost the rabbit litter and after scooping the poop out I also compost the cat litter, however I compost it separately to be used on my flowers while the rabbit litter is used for my herb and veggie garden.. That way it all gets used for something..
Reply:if u have money like that, go for the expensive stuff since its better.
but if not, go for the cheap stuff.

Does pine tar soap actually work?
I've heard that pine tar soap is great for acne. (even better than proactive) If you have tried it .. can you please tell me if it actually works. Also .. is it true you need a prescription to get it?
Does pine tar soap actually work?
Well, I've never used it, but I did a search and came across this thread with people talking about the results they got:
http://www.acne.org/messageboard/index.p...
It seems really interesting, I'm going to look into buying some myself! The brand that keeps coming up (the thread, Amazon and in internet searches) is Grandpa's Pine Tar Soap. Search it and see where it might sell near you, or buy some online.
Reply:There doesn't seem to be anything other than anecdotal evidence that pine tar is effective for acne, and it was banned from use in dandruff products by the FDA in 1990. I would recommend sticking with products that actually have clinical evidence to support their effectiveness: salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur. If over-the-counter preparations are not effective for you, it's time to see a dermatologist for more aggressive treatments.
Reply:I've used it and it works for me! I think it's great. I used Grandpa's Wonder soap. I really like the smell - but I guess a lot of people won't. I'd happily recommend it - it doesn't cost much and if it works for you then it'll be worth it - and if it doesn't then you won't have wasted much money.
And you don't need a prescription - you do need a prescription for real coal tar though. Coal tar soaps that you can buy in the shops don't actually contain coal tar any longer. Fortunately pine tar doesn't need a prescription.
Reply:I've only seen in sold (I believe) In Health-food
stores but have never heard of it working on acne,
sorry.
Proactiv produces mixed results. Depending on your
kind of acne, severity, etc. you may want to use a
good face wash, and stay away from greasy foods,
- Trust me - also Coca Cola...
But - If you're looking for a more advanced remedy,
I'd recommend going to see a dermatologist...
Clinique Acne Solutions system did get me through
a bad case of acne in my teens and twenties, though!
Reply:I've seen it in health food stores. I don't know if it works on acne.
Reply:Ive heard of that to but never tried it. You dont need a prescription you can probably find it at wal-mart it is rather inexpensive.

Is pine a bad wood for my bearded dragons?
Is pine a bad wood to use for my back panel?If so can i have it covered in formica or something similar and then install it?If not what would be the most efficent 3/8 material to use?
Is pine a bad wood for my bearded dragons?
The resins in pine wood are toxic to reptiles, so I would avoid it if I were you. Why not use a sheet of 3/8" plexi-glass?
Reply:i think i would go with the Formica its easier to keep clean and it wont rot
Reply:Pine is a fine wood, my stepdad built a cage out of pine for my beardie, and he is doing fine after 1.5 years of living in it
Reply:i dont think wood is good for bearded dragons. 1. its not natural for them 2. it is hard for them to walk on it and 3. they were adapted for sand, not wood. No doubt you should go with sand, or pebbles. Its more natural and easier for them to feed.
Reply:there is nothing wrong with using pine go ahead with it but dont use it if its fresh the smell made my beardie vomit all the time after i noticed this i put him back into his old tank nothing wrong i left the pine tank for 1 month put him back in there nothing wrong with him now

Are Pine Sol fumes harmful in pregnancy????
Okay, so I had asked before if anyone was addicted to the smell of pine sol while pregnant, not knowing that the addiction to the smell only gets worse! I have actually poured it into a spray bottle so that I can spray it into the air to smell it and find myself sniffing the bottle at least once or twice a day. It's embarassing!! Is this harmful to the fetus? Does anyone else have this problem or a problem with cleaning products? I am currently 37.5 weeks pregnant - can't wait to be done so I don't have this problem anymore!!
Are Pine Sol fumes harmful in pregnancy????
I had a friend who loved the smell of permanent markers. Her doctor told her to uncap one and set it on a table, and walk by it every time she got an urge to smell it.
I don't think pine-sol is harmful unless you are inhaling. Most household cleaners are safe to use during pregnancy. I think spraying it into the air then sniffing, is much safer than sniffing it from the bottle.
Good Luck with the delivery of your wee one!!
Reply:Cleaning Products
There are mixed views about household cleaning products. There’s been limited research into their effects on pregnancy and, in general, they’re regarded as being okay to use, as long as you do so safely. One study did discover a link between exposure to cleaning products during pregnancy and an increased risk of children being affected by asthma, but no products have been specifically linked with birth defects or other serious problems.
Many women do choose to err on the side of caution though and there are certain ingredients in products that it’s worth avoiding or taking care with. For example:
Triclosan, an antibacterial agent, as it may end up in your breast milk after being inhaled.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VCO), chemicals which are found in all sorts of household cleaning products. They release pollutants when being used and some forms may cause problems for your growing baby.
Alkylphenol Ethoxylates, as they can disrupt and even mimic human hormones, and may affect your pregnancy.
If you do have to use cleaning products, especially heavy duty ones, then take care not to breathe in the products and open windows and doors when you’re using them. If you want to keep yourself and your baby as safe and well as possible, you can survive – and still retain a clean house – by opting for natural alternatives instead, or getting someone else to do your cleaning. For the adventurous, you can also go one step further by mixing up your own alternatives using easily available ingredients.
Reply:it is harmful in general. There was a study that found that cleaning products causes respitory problems in those that use them frequently.
Reply:My mom craved pine-sol. I crave Leaver 2000 refreshing body wash. In the shower I wash several times just to smell the soap. Pregnancy can be so weird lol. I wouldn't recommend sniffing from the bottle but just smelling the scent left behind shouldn't be of any harm. I wouldnt know for sure though.

Are pine tree needles toxic for goldfish ponds?
I am thinking of making a goldfish pond in my yard, beneath three large pine trees, but I'm worried that the falling needles may be toxic for the fish.
Are pine tree needles toxic for goldfish ponds?
I have never heard of toxicity problems, but they could cause a downward pH shift over time.
To combat that, you could try running the water from your circulation pump through some crushed coral. If the water is too acidic, it will dissolve minute amounts of the coral which will buffer the water a bit and help keep the pH more stable.
Not sure what you have in mind for structure, but maybe you could incorporate something that would cover part or all of the pond and prevent some of the needles from getting in. That would also provide shade - maybe not a factor where you live tho, I don't know. (Where I live, if a pond isn't fairly deep it will get overly hot in the summer - so shade is a consideration)
A covering may also help protect the fish from predators - again, may be different where you live, but I had a heck of a time keeping Egrets from using my pond as a buffet.
Reply:Hi While they are not toxic I would strongly suggest not building a pond anywhere near a pine tree unless you have a suitably sized netting to prevent any falling in. The needles %26amp; cones fallen form the tree are a very real danger to the fish as they will almost certainly get them stuck in their throat %26amp; gills which is fatal if not removed. Check any moderated pond forum or site for confirmation of this hazard-it's far more common that many people realise.
Reply:don't build it under any type of tree, it will work you to death trying to keep the leaves out, believe me

Are pine trees toxic to cats?
I am thinking about getting a real Christmas tree this year... but we have a 7 mo. old kitten who chews everything... including houseplants! Does anyone out there know if pine trees (specifically Douglas Fir, Scotch Pine and White Pine) are toxic/poisonous to cats?? Thanks!
Are pine trees toxic to cats?
Hi Melanie...real Christmas trees are more dangerous to cats than fake plastic ones. Pine needles can puncture internal organs if eaten, they are also toxic to cats. If you do have a real tree, make sure the drink stand has plenty of water to prevent the tree drying out %26amp; losing needles. It is important that your cat isn't able to get to this water %26amp; drink it as it could result in poisoning. Ensure the tree has a good solid base so it won't easily be knocked over by your cat.

Reply:Pine trees aren't toxic to cats at all. But there are other hazards to be aware of, even when you mix a cat with an artificial tree. Loose tinsel, for instance, can block a cat's intestines with potentially lethal results(use garland instead). Likewise, your cat may be tempted to bat at or chew on ornaments. Keep any fragile ones out of reach of your cat as well as any ornaments with small parts(which can pose a choking hazard). If you are interested in controlling inappropriate chewing behaviors in you kitten, you can try bitter taste deterrent sprays available at pet supply shops. They will work with many items that you don't want your feline friend to chew.
Reply:no
Reply:No, pine trees aren't posionious to cats. Think of it this way, if they were living in the wild it doesn't hurt them, so why should it now? And, plus, cats have strong stomachs!
Reply:Pine trees aren‘t, but yew trees are,
However, you would hardly put up a yew tree at Christmas.
(Pine trees have stems, yew trees are rather bush-like)
And any cat munching away on a yew tree would raise a few eyebrows, I’m sure.
