MomCentral Blog Tour: Lice MD

I've only come into contact with lice one time in my life, so far. *knocking on wood*At about age 10, I was combing a younger relative's hair when I noticed these tiny, teardrop-shaped thingamajigs hanging from the strands.

My mom explained to me, later that day, that they were lice eggs. As a young girl with tight curly hair, she says she got lice sometimes as a kid. And her sisters would always get mad at her because of all they had to go through cleaning the sheets, picking out the nits, etc., etc. Given how hard it still is to deal with lice, even with all our modern conveniences, I shudder to think of what it was like back in the '40s and '50s.

I've looked at the various lice-eliminating products, and it appears that most, if not all, rely on pesticides. And let's face it, if we can avoid soaking our kid's head in pesticides, we should do it, right?

I have to concur with LiceMD's marketing material and say that it really is a breakthrough in lice treatment. Not only is it nontoxic, it is odorless, helps prevent re-infestation (now there's a word to give you goosebumps), and you can reapply it as needed.

Dealing with lice is hard enough as it is. Now we have one less worry to deal with when this ugly problem comes up. Finally, there is a nontoxic solution.

I will go ahead and give away my sample, even though I risk jinxing my family's bug-free heads by doing so. If you'd like to receive a 4-oz. package of LiceMD to have on hand just in case, leave me a message with your email address between now and Monday at midnight, EST. I will post a winner on Tuesday.
