Aroma sticks

'Filling the air with fragrance' actually does my head in, and when I smell this stuff in a house, I usually exit as fast as I can - the fragrance mat linger, but I won't.

There was one of these on a motel we stayed at recently, so I just shoved it outside. Then there was on in my sister's room - sorry I put up with it as long as I could.

Anyway, I was given a tarpaulin and I noticed the fragrance of oil on it. And yes, the 'giver' admitted that she had spilt a little oil from an aroma stick bottle on it.
Well I stored it in the shed were I was unlikely to smell it.
A few weeks later, I needed a tarpaulin and while the smell still lingered, it was dry [as it was when I took possession of it].

I placed the tarp on the grass as a clean surface, and to my surprise, the area of grass was desiccating! I now have a patch of dead grass on my lawn caused by this fragrant oil.

So if it kills my grass - what is it doing to the lungs of those who breathe it in?
