If you have been inhaling steamed citronella instead of eucalyptus oil by mistake- how harmful is this and what should you do?

Answer:
the US Food & Drug Administration consider citronella oil as generally recognized as safe. If any effects occur I would consult your doctor. Citronella oil doesn't contain anything directly harmful unless you're allergic to it. A possible effect of inhalation is an increased heart rate, however this doesn't happen in all individuals.
