Yep, Karen, one here! ;o) (Don't kill me... hahaha) Does that make us bad, lazy ignorants...?! :-o (Yeah, no need for lectures... I read all the posts and agree it's better without the poison...) We went through it once or twice and the way my days look now, I can hardly believe being able to go through that time-consuming procedure for ages in a row with a bunch of little children that could all be affected. Sigh... all my breastfeeding work must be to clear my conscience: wasn't breastfed and am eating liquorice right now, instead of an apple...! :-) So, all due respect to those who manage without chemicals! :o)) Bye, Marianne Vanderveen IBCLC, Netherlands (still busy with the chemistry exam that included a sort of 'formula ad'; little message in a national newspaper today, hoping for bigger coverage after the weekend when my 2 1/2 A4 protest letter will be sent to several media by a Wemos employee http://www.wemos.nl/en-GB/Content.aspx?type=Organisatie&id=1356) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, May 29, 2009 3:06 PM Subject: [LACTNET] head lice You know I Love you'all but is anybody else out there thinking give me pesticide? Four years, Good Lord, you are a saint. We had lice once courtesy of a LLL meeting. I have never itched so bad, I would rather give birth. Our family has THICK, long, hair. I was nursing and used the topical shampoo, twice 2 days apart, did all our bed linen (family bed), cleaned our winter coats and hats, and sprayed our sofa, where we'd nap and hang out. My husband said it was a bit of overkill, but never had them again. Maybe the stuff is still in our system! Kids still alive and well, 31,29,26,24,18. Maybe lice are more resistant today? *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
