Good points neal. Up until your earlier posts I didn't realize that PAM created a barrier. Your argument for not cutting corners on myself or kids is flawed however. I would, and many others will and do, cut corners with themselves and family. That is why there are so many alternative medicine type books, teaching, threads and so on out there. In fact lice shampoo is a clearly accepted treatment for lice but I have heard of people suffocating lice instead by using greasy type products, and it works just fine. Of course that is just one example but I'm sure everyone here has there own knowledge of home cures for things. I'm not making an argument against PAM and in fact already ordered some. The argument I make is against your ---only one product should be used for mites and all others are garbage---type statements. If that's not what you intended I apologize for my assumptions. Again, I don't want nor do I have any ill feelings, I just wanted to put in my 2 cents on your response, hehe. Have a good day.
