Lemon/water sponge bath

[cocorabbit]

I was looking at natural treatments for mange and saw this website suggest:

Use lemon as a topical solution to treat the skin affected by the mange. Cut up a lemon into slices, leaving the peel on. Boil the slices in water, then let the water sit overnight to cool. Apply the cool lemon water directly to the skin. This acidic tea will improve the healing of the mange-damaged skin, relieving irritation.

I doubt a sponge bath would be enough to kill your bunny :/ It's not like she's actually bathing the rabbit, or at least, that's what I got from the OP.

Anyways, I've never heard of this treatment before... I have no idea if it would work or not...
