[Herbalist] tea tree/neem?

[Gaylin Walli]

I'm still looking through my notes to try and find the reference, but
somewhere I read a few of the studies that indicated that Neem was
being used successfully as a fungicide in African countries and in the
Australian outback. Darned if I can find that off the bat. It was a
really wacky search online to get to it, too. Right now most of what
you get is information about the neem patent being revoked and a whole
lot on the use of neem as a treatment for head lice. Darn darn darn
those computer crashes and my lack of forethought in burning my URL
list to CD (she says, pulling out a CD to burn a recent backup of
everything). If I find it, I'll share. If someone else finds it, hey,
let me know!

Cheers,

iasmin
