Answer 9

For starters, flea control products are designed to kill fleas, and not head lice.   They are different organisms. Even if it did work, the lice would re-infect in a few days when the eggs hatched (the eggs must be combed out separately). Flea controls are TOXIC and must be given in precise amounts.  That is why you must match the weight of your pet to the dose you give them.  Eg many dog flea collars are toxic to cats and cause fitting and frothing at the mouth.  Furthermore, Human pharmaceutical products have been stringently tested and designed to work safely on humans whereas animal products certainly have not.  Good luck convincing the mother of your children.  She needs to be told!
