Re: [GWL]: Rodale Press

As I perused my really old files on Neem, I came
across several publications which sold Neem in
personal hygeine products, creams and lotions for
topical uses, and ingestion as a dietary supplement.
(I tried to load this in my previous post, but cannot
seem to access it)

Anyway, this is may be a reason for some of the
warnings on the labels of Neem products intended
specifically for garden use.
