Eagle, I was thinking about oil of bergamot last night and it dawned on me that bergamot is also called Bee Balm, Monarda didyma and Oswego tea.

This is all the same plant which I have tons of in my gardens everywhere all around my house. The flowers of it are beautiful. I use it to attract hummingbirds because it's their favorite nectar plant. The Indians made a tea out of it, thus the name Oswego tea.

I handle it all the time and maybe it's why every summer I get a terrible red, itchy rash on my waist line area. I never could figure out what gave me this rash because I've got other plants that could've been doing it too.
