Did you know that head lice are the third most feared experience for parents? Head lice rank third among parents’ worst nightmares. More parents fear head lice than chicken pox, pink eye, strep throat and the flu.

Only a broken bone and a broken heart scare parents more than head lice.

These are the results of a first-of-its-kind One Poll survey of 2,000 U.S. parents:

Parents fear head lice because it’s becoming harder to get rid of them. The most popular lice products on the market are loaded with poisons and toxins and have lost their effectiveness to kill lice. The most recent study (2016) published in the Journal of Medical Entomology found that 98% of head lice in most U.S. states are now resistant to pyrethroids, the class of toxic 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!
