cellulitis is nasty business. I've had 4 or 5 bouts with it in the last 15 years. 2 times ago i caught it early enough that @essentialoilmom was able to make a blend of essential oils that worked like an antibiotic and took care of it. The last time I got it though it came on so strong and so fast we knew we needed get to the doctor to avoid any severe affects.
