Finger-Nails Splitting: Advised Tea Tree Oil. But Label Cautions Epileptics. Why?

Suffering years of splitting finger-nails and having tried countless treatments, the person who advised Tea Tree Oil knew I am epileptic.
With the label cautioning epileptics, I am wondering -- in advance of seeing my neurologist next week -- just how TTO can have a negative affect on those with this illness and whether certain precautions could facilitate applying this to finger-nails with no fear of problems with medication (which?!).
Any assistance on this would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello gl556tr, tea tree oil is a strong antiseptic - gargling it kills Strep, so it's good for sore throats, but don't swallow it! - and it is used mainly for toe nail fungus problems. No idea why it would be recommended for splitting nails?

Looked up the horsey stuff. £6 for just less than an oz seems rather pricey! I would recommend eating a square or two of undiluted jelly cubes to see if this could help? Much cheaper.

Unfortunately, deceased horseys hooves are melted down, (as are our bovine friends hooves), to make glue and gelatine. This is why vegetarians don't eat gelatine and have to buy Agar, made from seaweed, instead.

Hope this has been helpful!

GA: Your info was most informative. Thank you.
I had been following MM's experience with that horsey stuff, awaiting whether the eye-watering price had to be coughed up.
I was aware of the source of gelatine, but not of the alternative Agar - so it's two cubes of that!

Hi gl556tr...heres the lowest price on Amazon. Though the pots are small, they last month's. So this is very good value.

Pasta; That is £8.69 for TWO - and it works! in my case in a fortnight. If the above can't afford 4 quid to cure their split nails and prefers to chew seaweed and hope for the best then so be it.
