The direct threat to health is misinformation and recommendations for lice treatment without warnings of their risks. Lindane and malathion are not the most reliable. Plus they are serious pesticides and come with risks especially for pregnant women and young children. Safer choices are available. Visit headlice.org!

Recommendations to use toxic prescription only products such as Lindane and Malathion as a first line of defense against head lice are a disservice to your readers. There are many other natural/non-toxic products/methods that are just as effective if they’re utilized properly and with patience.
