I just found this great article saying what we have been saying for so long at Lice Lifters. Our treatment is all-natural, pesticide free and works 99.9% of the time. Why are people using dangerous OTC chemicals that don’t work on their kid’s heads?
Washington, DC--(ENEWSPF)--March 11, 2014. Virtually all lice in the U.S. have developed resistance to over-the-counter and prescription shampoos containing the toxic chemical permethrin. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Pesticide Programs considers permethrin, part of the synthetic pyrethroid class of chemicals, “likely to be carcinogenic.” However, when used as a lice shampoo the chemical is regulated by the Food and Drug Administration and allowed for use on infants over two months old. The latest study on lice resistance, published in the Journal of the Entomological Society of America, shows that harsh chemical treatments not only are not necessary given effective least-toxic alternatives, but also are not able to provide the lice control that manufacturers claim.
