As an elementary school teacher I’ve seen my fair share of lice.

They like clean hair, not dirty hair. Anyone can get them. If your kids haven’t had them, I hate to tell you this but they probably will. Perhaps repeatedly. And there’s no way around it – they’re freaking disgusting.

When Mom Central offered a sample of Lice MD as a pesticide free alternative treatment, I jumped on it. We don’t have lice in our home now, thank God, so I’ll be stashing the sample away for future (and hope to hell I don’t ever need it). It doesn’t expire, so it’s all good.

The only other natural alternative to the gross drugstore stuff that I’ve ever heard of I learned from a parent of one of my students who for some reason was loved by the lice. She used olive oil. I’m all about using things I can eat on the human body so I do love that idea. But? She had to saturate her hair and sleep with her head in a plastic bag, comb it out in the morning but not wash, wear a bandana all day, comb again after school and wash and then repeat that again 7 and 14 days later to make sure all the eggs were gone. I’d certainly do it to avoid having to use pesticides on my kids, but I’d sure rather use Lice MD since it’s clinically proven to eliminate lice, eggs, and nits.

It’s a liquid gel formula that actually detangles hair, “so you can concentrate on removing lice, eggs and nits, instead of fighting to get the lice removal comb through the child’s hair.” Amen. Having done that for a few children, I can tell you it’s about time!

Lice MD is completely odorless. It is hypoallergenic, dy and harsh chemical free and is safe for all household members. It’s gentle enough that it can be re-applied as needed, and takes only 10 minutes to eradicate the lice.

On top of all that, it’s easy to use. Watch the instructional video and see for yourself if you don’t believe me. Are you questioning me? No? Okay then.

The Good:
See above.
And? They’ll give you your money back if you’re not satisfied.

The Bad and the Ugly:
Other than the lice, I’ve got nothing for you.

The Verdict:
Buy it. Keep it in your medicine chest in case of a creepy little bug emergency. Trust me when I tell you that you won’t want to waste time driving to the store to buy this stuff when you find out you or your kids have lice. You’ll very likely be wigging out and itching from head to toe. Just head to the bathroom and put it on.
