DANGERS IN LICE TREATMENT

At Lice Lifters we know the most effective way to treat lice is all-naturally.  We also know it is the safest way.  All of our products are all-natural.  It is amazing that people still use products with dangerous chemicals.

The malathion contained in a single Ovide treatment can be up to 30 times the recognized safe one-time dosage for a young child, yet according to the product's label, no tests have been done to measure how much malathion is absorbed through the scalp, nor is it known whether Ovide is safe for children under 6. The FDA estimates skin absorption is low enough to make it safe for older children, but again this is not based on actual test results. So one can only speculate upon what criteria the FDA bases its opinion.

Parents should note that malathion is an organophosphate (OP) poison, a suspect mutagen and teratogen, and a delayed neurotoxin. It causes allergic reactions, behavioral effects, ulcers, gastrointestinal inflammation, damage to eyesight, abnormal brain waves and immunosuppression. OPs can easily enter the body through the nose, skin or mouth. The consequence of putting this stuff on your child's head and then leaving it there for an extended period of time has never been tested or resolved. Yet, it is becoming the treatment of choice for head lice, as other OTC products like Nix and Rid become less and less effective.

Incidentally, what the makers of Ovide don't tell you is that organophosphates were developed by Nazi chemists during the course World War II as a chemical weapon nerve agent. Again, nerve agents don't come cheap. A prescription for a two ounce bottle, sufficient for one shampoo for your young child, will cost you $132.99 at CVS. Toxic chemicals don't only attack your health, they are very efficient at depleting your pocketbook as well!
