I saw this article over at
The Krazy Coupon Lady and thought I would share for all of you with little ones.
This fall, I got the call that all parents dread: there was an outbreak
of head lice in my daughter’s classroom. As soon as she arrived home
from school, I checked her head, and sure enough, the nasty little
buggers were there. The worst part: she had managed to spread it to her
sister before the school called.
After the initial freak-out at
the grossness of it all, we did what most parents would do: headed to
the drugstore for the strong smelling, super-expensive lice shampoo kit.
We applied immediately, being sure to follow the instructions to the
letter. We bagged stuffed animals, stripped all of our bedding, did
about 1,000 loads of laundry. And yet, the lice returned.
Reluctant
to shell out more of our hard-earned cash for more over-the-counter
lice treatments that didn’t work, we started scouring the Internet. What
we found was more effective, much safer (commercial lice shampoos
contain pesticides), and far cheaper than another trip to the drugstore.
You probably already have most of the tools necessary for eradicating
head lice in your pantry and under your sink.
