Professional Head Lice Treatments: Why They Rock
It’s rare, for anyone to spend their whole lives without going through a single lice infestation. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are up to 12 million cases of lice infestations in the U.S. alone, and the primary sufferers of these infestations are children. And when a lice outbreak does happen, the frustration seems never-ending and unmanageable.
We’re here to tell you that lice are not in fact the problem, the treatment you choose is. Since lice epidemics are not your conventional subject for small talk, the stigma surrounding the subject keeps you asking far and wide for good advice, you may end up choosing the wrong course of treatment.
You’ll find yourself going to the local store to pick up an over-the-counter lice treatment, one probably recommended by the guy behind the counter. You’ll come home and douse yours or your child’s hair with the bottle’s entire contents.
Don’t do it!
Yes, it’s the quickest option. But it’s neither effective nor safe. OTC lice treatments are brimming with harmful pesticides, with side effects such as severe skin allergies, respiratory issues and cognitive problems.
Another option you’ll look to for lice treatments is home remedies. Problem is, stuff like essential oil and mayonnaise have little effect on adult lice, while the nits survive and stay put.
