Beware of this Prescription,
A 61 year old grandmother asked me to please raise awareness of a lice removal chemical call MALATHION prescribed to her by her dermatologist. She contracted head lice from visiting her grand children during the summer at a summer camp that they were attending in Maine.By the time she realized that she had lice two months had passed by and she was infested, so she decided to pay a visit to her dermatologist to request something to get rid of the lice, and he replied by saying "I'll give you something strong, your hair may fall out, but you won't have anymore lice". At the time she didn't make anything of it because she just wanted to get rid of the lice and this meant spending more time with her grandchildren.
After applying Malathion 3 times in the course of three weeks she noticed that she wasn't getting rid of the lice and that's when she came to visit us at our Hair Fairies location in CT. This grandmother was very upset to find out that she was still left with the problem of head lice. We at Hair Fairies were able to deal with her lice problem once and for all, but unfortunately
that wasn't the end of her problems. Prior to her coming back to Hair Fairies for her guarantee check a few weeks after her last treatment she called to cancel her check because she wasn't feeling well. Little did she know that this prescription Malathion had poisoned her bloodstream that the levels of toxicity found in her blood were extremely high. She end up being admitted to the hospital two days with her eyes being blood shot and doctors couldn't determined what was wrong with her and asked if she was around or dealing with plant fertilizers, until her husband went home and got the box of Malathion home to show the doctor, and that's when the doctor said that a woman at her age wasn't supposed to have this chemical prescribed. This grandmother called me and asked me to raise awareness of this chemical because she doesn't want anyone going through the same ordeal that she had to go through.
