Water quality is essential

From my experience no shampoos could help me against dandruff, but then I started using filtered/purified water and all the dandruff disappeared immediately. The causes are chlorine [1] and water hardness [2]. I find it strange that nobody has mentioned these aspects here. --Termgrauzis (talk) 15:47, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

I propose that Antifungal#Antidandruff shampoos be merged into Dandruff#Treatment. I think that the content in both parts are quite similar. May be consider to copy from Antifungal#Antidandruff to Dandruff#Treatment? Liwk (talk) 08:37, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge -

Okay merged. Much of it was already here. Some of it was unreffed and thus not needed. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:19, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Don't merge -

Reference

Dandruff resides in lungs

Aspiring dandruff produces a burning sensation in lungs that lasts for several hours to days. It also gives bad taste, bad taste to food and leaves a persistent bad smell for hours. Should be advised it may carry pathogens and insect parasites as well into the lungs. Why is it not considered a disease vector?
