Apr. 08 - New pesticide-free lice treatment!
Head lice is one of the most contagious conditions among children, only second to the common cold. There are about 6 to 12 million cases each year, and it causes children to miss approximately 12 to 24 million school days annually. But, now parents can say good-bye to head lice and to pesticides with the introduction of LiceMD®, a new pesticide-free breakthrough treatment that helps parents take control of lice outbreaks and achieve peace of mind while restoring their household to its normal balance. This head lice treatment is pediatrician-tested and clinically proven to effectively, safely and simply eliminate eggs, lice and nits without the use of pesticides. You can find it in most major pharmacies. More information can be found at www.LiceMD.com.

Dr Sears' comment: I'm excited about this new product because it gives parents an effective alternative to the pesticide lice treatments. This product uses dimethicone, which is a very common ingredient in most shampoos and conditioners - and it's known to be safe. Also, it makes combing out the lice eggs much easier! Parents will love this!
