The real damage that can occur while you suffer from head lice are not the bugs themselves. While they may be itchy and a pain to get rid of, they don't actually do much harm. The harmful effects of head lice come with the treatment you choose. Harsh chemicals sometimes do damage to the scalp. Use carefully and follow all instructions, including age appropriateness for children. Always follow the label and keep chemicals away from children when not in use. I prefer to use more organic methods such as mayonnaise and vinigar.
