SIDE EFFECTS OF PESTICIDE TREATMENTS FOR LICE

At Lice Lifters we see mostly children, but we have seen an increase in teenagers coming in to be treated.  We know that pesticide treatments do not work anymore and are dangerous to children. The reason children are more susceptible than adults is the scalp has many blood vessels that are close to the skin, making it easy for toxic substances to be absorbed directly into the blood stream. To make matters worse, children have a less mature immune system to protect them and other enzyme systems to detoxify these chemicals.

There are conditions that make pesticide exposure even more dangerous to people with asthma can have very severe reactions to pesticides. They can have problems at low levels of exposure that have no apparent effect on people without these conditions, especially children.

We make sure our treatment at Lice Lifters is all-natural with no chemicals or pesticides.  Find a Lice Lifters Treatment Center near you. http://www.licelifters.com/locations.html The Nit Nanny Products are always available http://www.thenitnanny.com/productsandprevention.html
