I just read a story of a 9-Year-Old Girl that Died After Her Mother used Sniper On Her Hair with the aim of Killing the lice.
This incidence was reported at the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital.

PESTICIDES ARE VERY DANGEROUS but yet THEY ARE VERY COMMON IN OUR HOMES.
This things we call Pesticides, whether "Otapiapia, Tusatusa,", foreign or locally made, they are all POISONS.

There are other products that are made for such purposes.
If you know anyone who has lice, mites, scabies, etc, do not ever attempt to use pesticides.

At every nook and corner of our homes, we can find these bottles of used or existing pesticides kept around carelessly..

It is normal for children to explore their environment. But it is your responsibility as a parent to ensure the safety of your children.

The symptoms of the poisoning symptoms can range from mild to severe. In more severe cases, a person may die from the poisoning.

Symptoms may start immediately after you took the pesticide, either from the mouth or from the skin, or inhaled from the nose.
