A ciência
Terpenes (terpinen-4-ol)Tea tree oil is high in terpenes (terpinen-4-ol and others) which are rapidly absorbed through skin and mucous membranes. They cause CNS depression, hepatotoxicity, ataxia and muscle weakness. Dogs lack the glucuronidation capacity to detoxify these compounds efficiently.
