No reason to do that .. neat Oregano on the skin can easily cause

irritation. Its not a known sensitizer but then .. many EO that are in

that category do cause sensitization from time to time .. one that comes

to mind is Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia).

Because .. you were inhaling it. The volatile vapors rise. It is NOT

because it absorbed into the skin.
