*Warning, facts that may make your skin crawl up ahead*
80% of schools have at least one lice outbreak a year- yes I said that EIGHTY *jaw drops* and there are between 6 and 12 million cases of head lice each year!! *gags and scratches at head*
Now that 2 of my kids are in school, lice is a REAL threat in our home. About a year ago I started seeking out alternatives to treating it should we be unfortunately enough to come down with an outbreak. I had been hearing that they were becoming resistant to those harsh scalp burning, nose hair singing chemical shampoos that were most commonly used to treat and outbreak and my heart sunk. How the heck do we get rid of them if they won't die? I half heartedly book marked a bunch of homeopathic remedies and have basically just prayed ever since that we would be fortunate enough to avoid it.
This week my daughters school sent home a paper about an outbreak but ironically last week I was contacted about Lice MD. I liked what I saw on the website so I agreed to receive some sample product to hold on to *just in case* Turns out we may end up needing it - I'm still hoping NOT but at least if we do I won't have to worry about toxicity or chemical resistant. LiceMD is pesticide free, odorless and there is no pesticide resistance on the part of the lice. Their website is also very helpful showing the life cycle of lice and tips on preventing the spread of lice.
