Super Lice Resistant to Pesticides
Imagine that. The more chemicals we use, the more resistant the bugs and the bacteria become. This is not a new problem. And what do the experts advise us to do?
Experts now say that “everyone in the family should be treated with a permethrin-based product. Repeating treatment of everyone in a week or 10 days should get rid of the lice.”
Permethrin?? The EPA classifies permethrin (an insecticide) as a carcinogen because it causes lung tumors. It is also a neurotoxin. Symptoms include tremors, incoordination, elevated body temperature, increase aggressive behavior, and on and on and on. Still curious about permethrin? READ THIS!
Why is it that our culture insists on using synthetic chemicals to address issues that could be addressed naturally? Why are we so willing to expose ourselves and our children to cancer and more without a second thought?
I don’t get it. Am I crazy?
