Every year someone manages to kill or maim a child because they believe that gasoline or kerosene is an effect lice killer (they are not). The last case we know of was a 13 year old girl from Lorimor, Iowa. The volatile fumes will combust. These products should not be applied to the hair (or other parts of the body).
