That seems like the hard way to execute a non-scientific operation.

Makes not a lot of difference whether you use 1, 2 or 3 drops of Oregano

in your soup (or whatever) .. ceptin for the taste. Its NOT going to

hurt you. So why bother with measuring anyway .. I have never done it.

Yes'm .. most any oil will have leached rubber/plastic molecules drawn

into it .. and a few quicker than others. Dennis can confirm that Lemon

Myrtle is probably the quickest .. it will eat through the standard

industry phenolic caps on bottles.
