I have been amazed at the number of people who use chemical lice shampoos and seem to have no idea that what they are putting on their children's heads are pesticides. These products carry warnings on them about disposal of pesticide products, and so forth. And yet it doesn't register what the product really is.
I'm not going to reinvent the wheel here. There is some excellent information on the ingredients used in these chemical shampoos at The National Pediculosis Association. Please, if you are in doubt about the dangers of these substances, go read more and make an educated decision.
As is true of most health risks, there are some groups of people that are more likely to experience adverse side effects from the chemicals in lice shampoos. These people are:
-Mothers or caregivers that are pregnant or breastfeeding
-Any child under the age of 2
-All people with cancers of any type
-A person who has already been treated with chemical lice shampoo during the current or a past infestation
-Any child whose home environment or bedding has been sprayed with chemical lice sprays
-Any child suffering from or receiving treatment for epilepsy, AIDS, cancer, asthma, allergies, or any other illness.
-Children currently on medication for anything
-Any person regularly exposed to chemicals such as flea bombs, monthly extermination, yard chemicals, and so on
It is very important to remember that both the person applying the chemical shampoo AND the person getting the shampoo are at risk!

People are saying....
I wanted to let you know that, I have been using the spray on my dog and I am extremely impressed. She gets fleas (of course), but she is allergic to EVERYTHING. I can't use any type of flea killers on her or she breaks out terribly.
So I am constantly bathing her. Every time I bathe her there are fleas. I have been using your spray and when I bathe her now, she might have one or 2, and then only if I have missed spraying her for a couple of days.
As a matter of fact, she had bitten at the base of her tail so many times that it was getting all raw and yucky, and that is healing up, it is almost completely cleared up. She is even on a daily prescription antihistamine and she was still biting at her tail. Now that I am using the spray I have cut back on the meds. So I am very happy!
I was afraid at first that with her sensitive skin that it might burn, especially with the raw spots the way they were. But it was great!
I didn't have to worry about her licking it off because it wasn't poisonous, but the funny thing is, it apparently didn't bother her a bit because she never even tried to.
