Poison alert: liquid potpourri

There’s nothing like a blog entry about poisonous substances to brighten up a weekend, so I’d like to pass along a warning from the ASPCA about the dangers of liquid potpourri to your pets.  Not only can liquid potpourri obviously cause burns from heat, the essential oils in the potpourri can cause chemical burns and other harsh reactions.  Cats are especially susceptible to the problem—if they climb up on a surface and spill the potpourri contents, they may lick spilled material off their fur.  Instead of heating potpourri to make your house smell good, may I suggest baking some chocolate chip cookies instead?  You can invite me over to help eat them if you’re concerned about such things.
