Professional's Comments

Community Health Nurse - Linda Forseth

Our Community, like many others, struggles with the ever-annoying problem of head lice. Particularly vulnerable are young children in the school setting. Frustrated parents spend hours dealing with this problem, only to find that within a week they are repeating the time-consuming process of shampooing, combing, picking out eggs, re-washing bedding and personal articles. Worried about continual use of harsh shampoos, our community's parents have resorted to treatments of mayonnaise, Vaseline, peanut butter, tea tree oil, conditioner left on for hours, mineral oil and even use of the vacuum cleaner to try to suck off stubborn eggs. Recently, our health department discovered "Follicel". The results have been astounding. Comments of happy parents include, "no harsh smell or chemicals", "The eggs just slid off when combed", "The shampoo did not burn", "It made the hair shine and appear healthy". Follicel is economical, as three to four children were treated per bottle and it proved to be effective even in very difficult cases. Knowing how safe, effective economical and easy it is to use, our parents have no concerns about treating their children with this product. For these reasons, Follicel is quickly becoming the first choice of parents in our community. - Linda Forseth, CHN, Seabird Island Reserve, Agassiz, BC Canada
