I got it on my hands and touched my mouth and now i can't get it off, even with soap.



PLEASE tell me someone else has done this.

this stuff WORKS man... I definitely don't want to lick my lips.

I can't remember what you are supposed to use if you have the scent of onions or fish on your hands-is it lemon juice or vinegar??? Is bitter apple an oil cause you would need something that cuts the oil. From what I read its quite poisonous perhaps calling a doctor??

Bitter Apple is not poisonous, just tastes bad. It is used to keep animals from chewing on things they are not supposed to chew.

You should get some of that orange cleaner that has orange zest in it..It cleans anything!! Its what mechanics use to wash their greasy hands.

Ughh, I know what that's like. I used the spray "Nature's Miracle" to keep the cats off things, but I always ended up with a mouthful myself! :tongue:
How about doing a rinse with vinegar? Or wiping the area with some facial toner on a cotton ball?

thanks for all the help!

I tried dishwashing detergent which got it off of my hands and mostly off of my lips... I think I'm just going ot have to wait it out.

at least I know for sure that this was a worthy buy. Henri now has absolutely no interested in the computer cable, and i have no interest in eating anything for a little while

I think its finally gone now and its about 12 hours later.

ugh, that was disgusting. I almost feel bad that Henri has to taste it too.

Thanks for the support everyone!
