Question:
In one of your columns, someone wrote to you complaining that their dog had a very bad itch. You suggested Selsun Blue hair shampoo. My husband has had an itch on his head and back for 50 years or so, so I decided if it was good for a dog, it might be good for a human, too. I bought Selsun Blue Medicated and used it on his back and hair. No more itch!
Thank you so much. I plan to send a copy of this letter to Dr. Gott, a wonderful doctor for humans. His column is usually just above yours. He, too, gives out wonderful information to help others.

Answer:
I am glad that the Selsun Blue Medicated hair shampoo helped your husband. I am all for using human-tested products on animals, since I oppose the routine testing on animals of new cosmetics and toiletries. Selsun Blue has been on the market for decades for human use. I use it myself and recommend many products for animal use that have a long and safe history of use by the human species, whose cruelty toward animals in new product-testing is a profit-driven abomination.
