LiceMD and Common Myths

Lice! It’s something no one wants to talk about or admit they’ve ever had. But here I am blogging about it, sharing my personal story with the nasty little critters, and debunking some myths.

Myth Number One: Dirty kids are the ones who get lice, right? Wrong? Everyone and anyone can get lice, though it is rarer in adults. I got lice when I was in grade school.

Every year the school did a lice check, but my head itched intensely long  before the school lice check. I remember so clearly the only thing that would satisfy the itch was to dig the hard bristles of my brush into my scalp. My mother (a hairdresser) thought I had my dad’s dandruff until she saw one of those little creepy crawlies jump out of my head.

Myth Number Two: Lice can’t jump or fly. They walk from head to head. I’m not sure how I got lice, but my mother and grandmother subjected me to those old, noxious, chemical treatments. I think that was the time my mother cut my long hair and gave me Dorothy Hamill hair. I haven’t had short hair since.

When I was asked if I wanted to blog about a product called LiceMD that’s pesticide FREE, I thought it’d be a great chance for me to share my story.  Thankfully, none of my children have ever had lice, but they are in school, and now I’m prepared with this new product sample.

I try to make my home as natural and pesticide free as possible and I’m so glad  LiceMD is non-toxic, safe, and odorless. Plus it’s pediatrician tested and clinically proven and helps prevent re-infestation. My mother told me after I was deloused, I went back to school and caught it again! She got ticked off (pun intended!) and told the school she would not send me back until they found the kids with the lice and got rid of them. (The lice, not the kids.)

So if your child comes home with a note from school saying he/she has lice, don’t freak! Okay, that’s not realistic. First freak, then get a some LiceMD. I thought about giving my box away, but decided I never know when I might need it! I don’t see an expiration date on the package, so it may come in handy some day. Though I hope I never have to use it!
