A crawling issue: Head lice treatments worse than the pest itself?

Parents often aren’t aware that some of the most prescribed and over-the-counter treatments can be harmful to children. The Food and Drug Administration’s adverse event reports – collected anonymously from doctors, hospitals and others – detail cases where the pesticides in lice treatments have been involved in conditions ranging from headaches to death. The reports were obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.

At Lice Lifters we treat lice with an all-natural heated treatment and our products The Nit Nanny are all-natural as well.  Now that we know better we need to do better.  Find a Lice Lifters Treatment Center near you. http://www.licelifters.com/locations.html The Nit Nanny Products are always available http://www.thenitnanny.com/productsandprevention.html
