Be Careful of Lice Treatments that contain Lindane and Ovine
Parents should be aware of Lice Treatiments that contain Lindane and Ovine, which contains the neurotoxin malathion, they have been reintroduced as a head lice treatment. The amount of malathion contained in one treatment can be up to 30 times the recognized safe one-time dose for a small child. Ovine’s safety for children less than six years old has not yet been established.
In addition to containing ingredients that pose health risks, these pesticidal shampoos may not work as effectively as they claim. The National Pediculosis Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing information on proper head lice control, has catalogued thousands of anecdotal reports of treatment failures. Studies have shown that resistance is developing to most of the chemical treatments. Lice Lifters offer a heated treatment and all-natural products, The Nit Nanny, that are chemical free and cause not harm.
