Don’t use pet products on children, parents told
‘Queensland health authorities have told parents to use their common sense and not use pet products to treat head lice on their children.
The warning from Chief health officer Jeannette Young came after a child became sick from a pet flea and tick product used to kill head lice.
Queensland Health would not release more information about the child but said the poisons in pet treatments had serious side-effects on humans.
“Animal products are poisons and are not safe for human use,” Dr Young said.’
