Are Commercial Lice Cures
Safe?
 There was a time when over
the counter lice cures was the best way to treat head lice,
but today there are some serious questions surrounding the
use of these shampoos and creams. Not only do they contain a
pesticide that may build up in your system and cause
eventual harm, but also they do not seem to be working as
well as they once did.
It is speculated that head
lice are becoming immune to the poisons in over the counter
and prescription lice treatments, making them much less
effective as lice cures. More often we are seeing people
having to treat head lice several times with these medicated
shampoos, without managing to get rid of the head lice.
As a result, today many doctors are recommending that head
lice be treated with natural head lice cures. This is
especially true for children, as the long-term affects of
these treatments that contain insecticide are not really
known yet.
The standard procedure for a natural lice cure involves
using a non-toxic treatment on the hair, and then manually
removing the lice and nits with a specially designed comb.
These natural lice cures not only appear to work better, but
they are not exposing your child to the toxins in commercial
lice treatments.
However, there are some
precautionary measures that should be taken when treating
lice, even if you are using natural lice cures.
If the person who is infested with lice has lacerations on
the scalp, especially if these sores are oozing puss, it is
very important that you consult with a healthcare
practitioner about how to treat the condition. This is a
sign that the scalp has become infected because of
scratching, and an antibiotic ointment may be necessary to
clear up the infection.
Another thing to keep in mind is that you should never use
any type of poison or flammable substance on any part of the
human body, including the hair. This can lead to injury or
death.
Many years ago it was common practice to use gasoline or
kerosene on the hair as lice cures, but this practice is far
too dangerous and should never be used. Every year children
are maimed and killed because a parent used this procedure
as a lice cure. Never use anything dangerous on yourself or
your children. If you are looking for lice cures, there are
far too many out there to even think about using a flammable
and dangerous substance.
Always choose a safe and non-toxic lice cure to rid your
family of any head lice infestations.
