Neem oil: animals
I knew toxicity existed for neem (aka: margosa, Azadirachta indica, A. indica) oil and mice from the research I had previously done for the post below this one, 2008 http://medind.nic.in/ibv/t08/i1/ibvt08i1p56.pdf, http://ktanihairsense.blogspot.ca/2014/11/neem-oil-margosa-oil-safety-and-uses.html. However, it is not the only one, and mice are not the only animals affected.
