I cancelled the order.

I found this on webmd and it scared me off.

Bergamot oil is LIKELY SAFE for most people in the small amounts found in food. It is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when used on the skin (topically), because it can make the skin sensitive to the sun and more vulnerable to skin cancer. People who work with bergamot can develop skin problems including blisters, scabs, pigment spots, rashes, sensitivity to the sun, and cancerous changes.

Special Precautions & Warnings:

Children: Bergamot oil is POSSIBLY UNSAFE in children when taken by mouth in large amounts. There have been serious side effects, including convulsion and death, in children who have taken large amounts of bergamot oil.

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Do not use bergamot oil on your skin if you are pregnant or breast-feeding. It is POSSIBLY UNSAFE.

Diabetes: Bergamot might lower blood sugar levels. This could affect blood sugar control in people with diabetes and cause blood sugar levels to go to low. Monitor your blood sugar closely.

Surgery: Bergamot might lower blood sugar. There is some concern that it might interfere with blood sugar control during surgery. Stop using bergamot at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery

I’m not saying you should take this - might want to wait for longer term studies. But you’re not a child, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you wouldn’t be using it on your skin. Are you diabetic or having surgery?

Taking metformin for high blood sugar unfortunately.

Hmm, seems like the lowering of blood sugar would be a good thing, but I can see why you wouldn’t want to put an unknown in the mix.

I’m gonna stick with the Earl Grey myself :slight_smile:
