I won't let my pregnant wife touch the bottle that holds the neem oil (concentrate). Am i being paranoid or prudent?

I got goosebumps reading this post! Very inspiring!

You are being paranoid, but in your defense a father-to-be is hard-wired that way. :) You may find this link clarifying: https://www.discoverneem.com/neem-oil-pregnancy.html Personally I am always far more worried by the exposure to lemongrass during pregnancy, as studies do suggest it causes birth defects. Re neem - protecting your pregnant wife from Dengue Fever & malaria is #1.

I am endlessly fascinating with the evolution of your business and wonderful products. How wonderful that you have found an ethical source for your neem and are helping those who need it most. So impressed!

We had a moderately ethical supplier already, just now we have a squeaky clean, great-story, community building one :) Im also fascinated about how when I give myself over to the things that RESONATE and ALIGN and MAKE ME HAPPY that the technical side of the biz evolves all by itself, and new connections and ideas blossom. :)

Neem is only stinky when it's not prepared well. :) I shall AMAZE you with how pleasant my neem spray is when next you find yourself in CNX. :) I have already started to consider WHAT TO DO with all the neem powder after the liquid is strained off for product. I expect to be having a LOT in the coming months and years. Hmmm... might be interesting material in mud bricks?
