While this may be good news for the consumer, it is important to proceed with caution. Beyond Pesticides has long been an advocate for the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/infoservices\/alternativesfactsheets\/index.htm\">non-toxic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/infoservices\/pesticidefactsheets\/leasttoxic\/index.htm\">least toxic<\/a> pesticide alternatives. Essential oils are classified as a least-toxic method for pest management; however, just because it is derived from a plant does not mean that it is safe for humans and other mammals or that it cannot kill a wide variety of other life. Some botanical pesticides can be quite toxic to humans and should not be used. It\u2019s crucial to read all labels and follow directions on a product before using, to make sure it does not also contain any toxic pesticides, synergists or non-disclosed inert ingredients.  <\/p>\n<p>Also, if you are chemically sensitive or have allergies, you will need to carefully evaluate the product to decide whether it makes sense for you to use. Cinnamon oil may cause reactions in some people.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on chemical antibacterials and alternatives, please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\/antibacterial\/index.htm\">Antimimicrobials and Antibacterials Page.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/09\/08\/health\/08real.html?_r=1&#038;em\">New York Times<\/a>  <\/em> <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Beyond Pesticides, September 10, 2009) Some researchers are suggesting that sanitizers made with essential oil are a solution to harmful soaps with antibacterials.
