1 Answer

Answer :

Do you have any pets that run around outside? The oils from the plant can be transferred.. so if you have an animal that goes outside and then you pet it, you can get an outbreak. This also goes for hiking and getting the oils on your shoes or clothing, so you could potentially have an outbreak if you handle your shoes/clothing days later.
