Hi ...  ...
Remember the recipe for the STRONG version of the lotion:
--------------------------------------------------------Juliette de Bairacli Levy's method from "The Complete Herbal Handbook for the Dog & Cat": This is a stronger preparation.
"Save all used lemon halves and place in a gallon container, at least 24 halves to the gallon. Place the jar or container in the hot sunlight or pour hot water over the lemon. let the lemon remain in the water until pieces begin to turn mouldy, then remove and replace with fresh ones, squeezing hard the old ones into the water. Do not throw away any of the old lemon water which then remains. Rub the lemon potion into all parts of the dog's body to expel the skin vermin. When pomegranates are available, the peel can be added to this lemon lotion with great advantage. Use the skins from three pomegranates to every nine lemons. (keep jar covered with a paper top -not greased paper)"
*** I think Juliette recommends paper top because the mixture needs air (oxygen) to ferment & for the d-limonene (the effective oil) oil, to dissolve into the water …
--------------------------------------------------------

As for the presence of mold ... mold carries antiseptic properties ... penicillin was originally derived from mold ...
But all said and done - can use either the strong or the fresh"er" solutions ... the fresh"er" solution seems quite effective too ...
Cheers ...
