Nitpicker review
I run a professional nit removal and head lice treatment service located in Roslyn, N.Y.We have been treating people with head lice for about 2 years and we use this book as our guideline. It is a wonderful book.Thevideo is great too!

Can having lice really have a humorous side?
The authors seem to think so, and you might also after reading this. There is a lot of controversy surrounding head lice today.This book is a great reference to the variety of techniques as well as a delightfullyentertaining guide to their own chosen style of eliminating the determinedpests.The book treats the readers with respect.The straight forwardhonesty of the writers is refreshing and funny.

it works, it works, it works, and no dangerous chemicals
If you have a lice problem, go out and buy this book. If you don't want to use dangerous chemicals on your kid's heads this is simply the only solution.This book is well written, clear and it is not trying to sellyou anything.

Fantastic Read/ Great learning Tool
Yikes- Lice is a fantastic read for both children and adults!Author Donna Caffey wonderfully explains the lice epidemic in a well written rhyming children's book.I would personally recommend school nurses across the nation to include this book on their shelves.

Caffey should be encouraged to write more books on changeling subjects for children.

Wonderfully written
This book should be on every students schoolsupply list. When our daughter came home fromschool with lice I was as horrified as she was. This book explains these naughty little creatures at a level we all can understand. Makes for enlightening reading on such an unenlightening subject. ... Read more

got lice, get book
After a harrowing ordeal of relentless combing and spending big bucks on commercial products, i broke down and bought this book.since following the olive oil regime, my kids have been lice and nit free, while to date, my neighbor is still nitpicking and washing bedding. Good humor, good advice.Buy it, use it and urge your school nurse to read it.

Easy to readmatter of fact solution to frustrating problem
I found this book to be very helpful in outling the process foreliminating headlice.The section describing the life cycle of lice fromnit to mature, egg-producing louse was very helpful in making clear why nitpicking and reapplication of treatment is necessary.My children have hadlice 4 times and each time have been able to clear up the problem before itgot out of hand.Daily manual nit picking (not relying on nit combs) Ihave found is the only way to produce a successful result.

The onlyconcern I have with the book is the advise to leave the treatment on thehair longer than the manufacturer's recommendation of 10 minutes.Whenusing such potent chemicals, I think it is wise to follow themanufacturer's instructions carefully and not overdo.Longer is notnecessarily better and may actually be harmful.

The National Pediculosis Association pans LiceBuster book
The National Pediculosis Association critiqued this book, giving it two thumbs down.The book contradicts its own directives and authorizes the use of chemicals in ways that fly in the face of approved indications by the Food and Drug Administration. Such misuse of pesticidal productscan pose health risks to children.References are made to scientists David Taplin and Terri Meinking to falsely imply their approval of the contents of the book. The National Pediculosis Association has requested that this book be pulled from the market. It is the NPA's opinion that the misinformation imparted by this book has added to the unnecessary confusion surrounding this public health problem.The NPA has also received many complaints about the book from school nurses.

A great resource for lice-weary parents!
I have found this book to be very helpful in combating head lice. There is not a great deal of hard information out there, and that makes lice eradication so frustrating! Another thing that I like about this book is its calm, reassuring attitude: You WILL live through this, and you will conquer! A necessity for parents of school-age kids ... Read more
