Pesticidal Shampoo Safety

I have always wondered why someone would decide to use a traditional pesticidal shampoo, especially after reading the label instructions. IT SAYS: Never apply a pesticidal product to a child who has open cuts or head inflammation. Do not apply to eyelashes or brows and cover your child’s face with a washcloth during treatment to further protect the eye area. Do not treat children less than two years old, pregnant or nursing women, or anyone with allergies, asthma, or epilepsy. Always wear gloves when applying. Do not use in a shower or bath, which increases exposure to the pesticide. Instead, shampoo over a sink or basin. Remember that pediculicide shampoos are pesticides and should be stored out of reach of children. 

These products are more dangerous than Raid.  Would you spray Raid on your child’s head?  There are all natural solutions such as The Nit Nanny Product Line and Lice Lifters Treatment Centers.  We kill lice naturally.  www.licelifters.com and www.thenitnanny.com
