Parents’ Scariest Halloween Nightmares: #3: HEAD LICE!

Parents were asked to rank their worst parenting nightmares, and HEAD LICE ranked 3rd!  More parents fear head lice than chicken pox, pink eye, strep throat and the flu, to name a few. Only a broken bone and a broken heart scare parents more than head lice.

One reason parents fear head lice is it’s becoming harder to get rid of them. That’s because the most popular lice products on the market are rapidly losing their effectiveness to kill lice and eggs (nits). The most recent study (2016) published in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that 98 percent of head lice in most U.S. states are now resistant to pyrethroids, the class of pesticides used in traditional over-the-counter lice products.

If that’s not scary enough, pyrethroids have also been linked to behavior and developmental problems in children.

Yikes!
