Whew! Luckily I have never had to deal with lice. That is a really good thing because generally I am not a fan of bugs. I was talking to someone about lice recently because her children all had them and she mentioned how she hated putting pesticides on their heads. I never thought about that before but yes I guess it does make sense that pest removal chemicals would be in a conventional lice removal product. Eww! Why not just spray their heads with a can of RAID?
I wondered if there was anything better commerically available and one of the front runners I found is Lice MD. It eliminates lice 10 in minutes without harmful pesticides and it is completely odorless. The ingredients list is pretty similar to a bottle of shampoo but without foaming agents so Lice MD is very slippery like a lotion.
There are still so many parents that would not make a homemade lice treatment but would opt for peace of mind in a bottle and if the school nurse is doing the treatment you know they won’t be using a make-your-own recipe, so I am happy that there is something safer for them.
For parents more interested in the au naturale route here is a link for natural lice remedies.
