Dangers of Lice Shampoo

Published by danaprince at 9:01 am under Health News, Healthy Living Edit This

Various school systems have different policies about lice and nits.  Some schools see it as an annoyance and won’t send a child home if they have them. This can prove very tricky for parents. If your child is getting lice repeatedly, you might be doing some serious damage by continuing to use Kwellada or Nix repeatedly.  These shampoos are effective but toxic. Repeated use can be poisonous as some of the chemicals are carcinogenic.

What can you do?

-Encourage your children not to share hats and brushes.  Keep girls’ hair braided or tied back  and boys’ hair short.

-Put tea tree oil in your shampoo which can repel lice

-Check for nits daily if there is a problem in your area so you can remove them before the house becomes infested

-If you get infested, do a thorough cleaning of the house including carpeting, sheets, pillows and stuffed animals.

Look at healthy options for lice and nit removal. There are products and brushes on the market that can help you get rid of them without chemicals.

Talk to your school board about changing their policy and about having volunteers check regularly for problems by inspecting heads.

    I agree that we need to stop pouring chemicals on our kids heads - especially ones that can be as dangerous as those in lice shampoos.

    In addition to the ideas listed above, I found some great items at www.kleen-free.com under the NitFree brand that my friends and I all agree are the best all-natural chemical free head lice remedies…and the NitFree comb they have is amazing.

    Lice are going to happen. I like to have something on hand rather than panicking last minute and caving in to buying some chemical laced answer that may be doing more damage than good. Alot of lice seem to be chemical resistant so the having soem NitFree bottles and the comb in the cupboard is my answer.
