Lice MD

by Jennifer Donovan

Are you scratching your head after reading the title?

I don’t know about you, but just hearing the word lice makes me start itching.

The folks at Lice MD sent me a sample, and in the case of this review, I’m proud to say that I havelice-md.jpgn’t used it yet. We had a lice infestation at our church last year, and several of my friends were plagued with the little bugs. I checked both of my children regularly and managed to escape, but I still live in fear of the parasite.
I’m happy to have this on hand in the event that we find eggs or bugs.

What makes Lice MD different?

Lice MD offers a pesticide-free alternative to treat your children that eliminates lice, eggs, and nits. It is safe for use in children as young as two. It’s odorless. It actually super-conditions hair. Because it’s pesticide-free, it can be repeated as often as necessary, which is often key in avoiding reinfestation.

I wouldn’t wish the plague of lice on anyone, but the truth of the matter is that most of us will have to deal with it at some time or another during our children’s school years.

Would you like to win one of 5 boxes to have on hand just in case? Leave a comment here and we’ll draw the winners on April 30.

In the meantime, look for Lice MD wherever lice treatments are sold. . .and stop scratching!

I was scratching at the title. I’ve been “privileged” enough to have lice several times throughout my years working with children, never fun. It would be nice to have some treatment on hand! :)

I hope it’s not karma that I enter this contest and then desperately need the stuff because of an outbreak!

:) Thanks for the chance though! ;)

I’m also hesitant to enter this contest but it can’t hurt to have it on hand – there have been quite a number of outbreaks at my daughter’s school!

My daughter had it twice within the past 8 months. It wasn’t fun. This stuff would come in handy since she will be starting kindergarten in 4 months.

I, too, hope to never have to deal with this, but as the mom of 2 girls with longer hair, I have a feeling I will. It would be nice to have this on hand, just in case! Thanks for offering!

Oh Lordy, we needed that last summer, after my long-haired daughter came home from summer camp with the nasty little things.

This year’s camp is 12 weeks and 3 days away.

Help me. I’m itching already.

My daughter and I dealt with lice this school year for the first (and HOPEFULLY) last time. But just in case it should happen again I would definitely like a treatment alternative to the harsh chemicals we had to use with this episode.

44 Bailey's Leaf April 24, 2008 at 10:12 pm

As a child, I was infested with lice a few different times from either the neighbors or the boys who sat behind and beside me in class. My mother could have purchased stock in the RIT Lice company. Should I tell you that they also told her to put things on my hair like kerosene? Hold on. A warning: PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS! IT IS NOT GOOD FOR YOUR CHILD! (Grandma once put gas on my head on accident. It’s amazing that I can grow hair!) There was also witch hazel, corn meal, hairspray, vinegar, cutting my hair all off, and feldsnaptha (sp!?) soap. Our problem was bad because of my thick hair, but if I could have had something like this, life would have been easier, and CHEMICAL FREE!

45 sparklykatt April 24, 2008 at 10:20 pm

I had a dream a few nights ago that I had lice! Maybe I should say I had a nightmare…

I was assistant directing a camp a few years and we had a huge breakout of Lice. We didn’t want to send all the kids home so we washed and washed heads. That was the last yeat we did that but it is always good to have some wash on hand. My little one hasn’t had it yet but I know it is only time.

Hello, A medical problem caused me to lose my income and shop at a clothing resale shop in a poor area of my city. A boy told his Grandma he was suddenly itching and they left.

I brought my purchases home and kept them in the bag until the next day, when I washed them. I started itching the following night. A favorite pair of pants suddenly had split on the crotch seams AS I WORE THEM. I realized the bag was originally tied in the bottom of my closet so I washed everything. But NO vaccumn ($). Bed and loveseat now need treatment also. (No other furniture yet, so that’s a blessing in disguise.)

Now I itch and scratch all the time, the “eggs” are just under the skin, hair loss too. The area between my fingers got itchy (I wash a lot) so went I went online I found this site. I thought it was mites or lice (both?).

Anyway, when I can get some money somewhere I will try to order! Thanks for such a great solution and website. What a relief to find you.
