Buying Over-the-Counter Head Lice Removal Products? Think Again
When your child experiences a head lice infestation, it’s natural for you
to go into panic mode.
Between worrying about the social embarrassment and impending school notice, switching to a quick over-the-counter lice solution seems the only way out.
That’s probably the biggest mistake we make.
Rushing to the drugstore and buying lice removal products off the shelf is problematic.
The problems are as follows:
Third, OTC products are completely ineffective at killing nits.
Most people do not realize that nits are an important part of head lice removal; also the toughest to get rid of.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Pyrethrins (class of Pyrethroids) are only capable of killing lice that are alive, not nits.
The eggs are attached to the hair shaft with a glue-like substance. This means that nits cannot be removed by OTC shampoos or lotions, but only via manual means (lice combing).
And if nits aren’t removed, you will have another head lice infestation on your hands in no time.
According to lice experts, manual head lice removal using a lice comb remains the only effective means of eliminating head lice completely – especially when done by a professional lice removal service.
