Hello everyone, my insane mum has gotten me into a strange maybe health altering problem.

Well, because I MAY have head lice (my hair is very thick so I get it every now and then - and sometimes real bad) Mum got some advice from a woman about her age: Use pet shampoo to treat it.

Now, I took a look at it after she bought some, and I really didn't think this is safe. So I go on the internet to do some research. Apparently it's dangerous cause many brands contain insecticide to kill bugs but aren't healthy for us humans. I try to tell her it's not a very good idea. She doesn't listen.

I find out about some ingredient in it called uhh.. -Looks at web page- Pyrethrins. Some chemical used to kill insects and is used in many head lice brands, pet shampoos, and bug sprays and such.

I looked at a few sites about it and it said it is harmful and can cause some symptoms -Is too lazy to list them-. I look at the bottle of the pet shampoo again and it says it used the natural ingredient Pyrethrins to help rid the "coat" (since it's pet shampoo) of bugs.

I know this isn't safe. I can't convince my mum to lay it down and start thinking about HER CHILDREN'S SAFETY!

Any help to convince her to stop? HURRY, SHE'S GOING TO MAKE ME WASH MY HAIR WITH IT SOON!!

Edit: I even got some info about Pyrethrins here http://wiki.medpedia.com/Pyrethrins-and-Pyrethroids#How_can_pyrethrins_and_pyrethroids_affect_my_health.3F
