Book Reviews of Head Lice To Dead Lice
Book Review: Highlights important things, but also contains some misinformation
Summary: 3 Stars
This book has a lot of good info, and we're following its plan. One thing that's a little concerning is that it contains some misinformation about some of the chemical products it advises against. It states that Malathion (which we were just prescribed to use, for better or worse) is banned in the US by the FDA. This is not true.
[...]
Maybe the FDA has been bought by the head lice industry (wouldn't surprise me), but statements like this should be corrected.
Summary of Head Lice To Dead Lice
A terrific treatment plan for a lousy problem.The head-count on lice infestations is growing each year, yet head lice have become resistant little buggers, immune to many of the traditional treatments. So how can you treat a child's head lice infestation while keeping your home, your own head, and your child's self-esteem intact? Now there's an answer for the millions of families plagued by persistent lice. Based on their award-winning, acclaimed video, Joan Sawyer and Roberta MacPhee-- otherwise known as the "Lice Ladies"-- present panicked parents with a safe, effective five-step treatment plan to end stubborn cases of head lice once and for all. In an informal, easy-to-read, and often humorous voice, the Lice Ladies offer help for families bugged by lice, including:
* Bug Off! Their famous "Head Lice to Dead Lice" plan for treatment and prevention of head lice infestations
* An itchy subject: the social, emotional, and legal issues associated with head lice
* Lice through the ages: a history of lice and their treatments, including chemicals, oils, and folk remedies
* Nitpicking: how to effectively check for, comb through, and pick out lice
* Housekeeping: how to keep your home lice-free (without becoming obsessive-compulsive)
* Other essential tips on what parents, kids, and schools can do to banish and prevent head lice, including a helpful resource list of doctors, organizations, public health departments, websites, and more.
