I don't like lice either, but we have been living with it for 3 and 1/2 months. All the nits have been removed and hair is clean, but every day/ every other day my child goes to school and comes home with live lice in her hair. We have cleaned our house from top to bottem several times and done everything we need to do. You see, we have been dealing with people who never get rid of the lice. They are too lazy or can't do it themselves. My family is the "wall" that keeps all the girl jocks and cheerleaders from getting it. My younger daughter gets lice, but my older daughter doesnt. My older daughter is one of thoes jocks. We have been fighting lice for ten years on and off and it has almost all been from the same people. If schools, state laws, and districts don't want to do anything about headlice, I am sure I will not be able to control it on my end and all of Riverdale School District will have it. Everyone is too hush-hush about lice. They are ashamed, but if they don't speak up, we will just continue to get it. My family sometimes feels like they are in prision. In fear they might spread this to others. If you have ever had headlice, multiply it by about 65 times and welcome to my family's world. Please don't let these kids stay in school with headlice in their hair!!!

Research compiling statistics on injuries from misuse of household cleaning products reiterates a major message for parents: the most important information on the product label is the safety and usage information.
The American Cleaning Institute, which represents cleaning product manufacturers, points to the importance of supervision and storage to ensuring safe and effective use of household cleaning products.
Any injury that occurs from unintended exposures is always one too many. When it comes to cleaning products, parents and caregivers truly have safety in their hands.
The most important information on the product label is the safety and usage information. When you’re finished using the product, store it up and away.
Manufacturers do make product safety and safe usage their top priorities.
ACI and our members devote considerable resources to education and information outreach to consumers on using and storing cleaning products safely and effectively.
Numerous products have safety caps and other child-resistant packaging, but that adherence to the time-honored message on the product label will help reduce injuries from unintended uses: “Keep out of the reach of children.”
The American Cleaning Institute features cleaning product safety and usage information for parents on its website at www.cleaninginstitute.org/clean_living/.

More people should be using non-toxic cleaning products. It is not necessary and very dangerous for children and adults alike to be using most of the cleaning products with toxic chemicals in them, on the market today. They are a lot more harmful than we are led to believe. The companies who manufacture these products make us think that we need them to keep our homes, etc. antiseptic and germ-free. Why does the mainstream feed into this garbage? If more people did a little easy research on their own for the sake of themselves and their family's safety they would be able to find safer simpler products that get the job done just as well and are nicer to us and the invironment. And they smell prettier too.
