Dissolving skin oils

In the "Hazards" section, there is the following sentence: "The limonene which is the main component of the oil is a mild irritant, as it dissolves protective skin oils.". Several things are questionable or unclear in this statement:
1) What exactly is meant by "protective skin oils"? Sebum? Stratum corneum lipids? Just the triglyceride fraction (which would chemically resemble vegetable oil) of sebum and SC lipids?
2) What is exactly meant by "dissolves"? Hydrolysis? Another kind of chemical degradation? Which one?
3) From which reliable source does the claim of limonene dissolving skin oils originate? A brief Google search clearly demonstrates that there is widespread duplication of this Wikipedia article's assertions about limonene's hazards - including the one of dissolving skin oils. Where is the citable source for this article to prove that limonene in fact dissolves skin oils? And where is the citable clarification on what "skin oils" and "dissolve" actually mean in this context?

Aromatherapy section irrelevancy?

In the Aromatherapy section, it does not specify the use of orange oil as a so-called fragrance. It only declares that aromatherapy is a pseudoscience, which is not relevant to orange oil, not to mention even the main article does not state this fact. Are there any sources for orange oil based aromatherapy or can the section be removed? Basilicon (talk) 06:26, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Correction needed to Structural Pest Control

The Structural Pest Control section cites an article "Orange Oil for Drywood Termites: Magic or Marketing Madness?" as the source of a claim that "70% of consumers in California prefer treatment with orange oil over traditional "tenting"". That is not found or supported anywhere in the document. The article states only that "In California, about 70% of the time, customers choose chemical injections, about 10% of the time, they choose non-chemical methods, and about 20% of the time a structural fumigant is used (Lewis 2003; Potter 1997)." and that "70% of the time customers choose chemical injections for treatment of drywood termites". There is no such statement of any preference for treatment with orange oil over other chemicals. I'd like to think this is just a blatant misreading of the article or misunderstanding of what constitutes a chemical injection. I will gladly leave this needed deletion to a more experienced editor, provided it is handled in a timely manner. JustATermiteGuy (talk) 04:47, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source 9 is a duplication of the Source 8, it is the same article. JustATermiteGuy (talk) 05:00, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed and edited. Zefr (talk) 05:28, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. However, at "It is a common alternative to traditional fumigation methods due to its lower toxicity and the convenience of local chemical injections.", citation is needed. I'm not aware of any data that suggests that it is common, even as an alternative to other chemical treatments, much less whole structure fumigation. I'm not sure that it's technically an alternative to whole structure fumigation at all as whole structure fumigation allows for the control and elimination of termites, known and unknown, whereas d-limonene does not.
