Super Lice Come with a Price

The only thing worse than bloodthirsty parasites sucking on your scalp is the effort it takes to get rid of them.

Lice are the bane of our existence. They have been there for as long as we have. They’re like the aliens that plan to take over the world. The ones you read about in old sci-fi books like the Animorphs. It’s like they’re planning to invade Earth, one strand at a time.

Unfortunately, most individuals never pay attention to these critters. This helps them carry out their plan effectively. Most individuals also don’t believe they will get head lice.

But when on the first sight of these pesky critters, we panic, run to the nearest store, and purchase a bottle of anti-lice shampoo. When the pesky critters don’t go away, it makes you wonder what you could be doing wrong. Did you get cursed by someone you bullied in high school? Is this just a nightmare that you’re going to wake up from soon? Maybe.

But the bottom line is, lice aren’t the same they used to be. If you’ve watched Pokémon you know how evolution works. First there’s a nit and then there’s an adult louse. The over-the-counter anti-lice products you get are the evolution stone. Confused? Let us explain.

The Super Lice

You’re probably scratching your head wondering what a ‘super lice’ is. Is it like the Super Saiyan version of the lice world? Maybe.

Actually, it’s worse than that. No matter how many OTC products you throw at it, it’s not going to go away. Not only has it become accustomed to staying rent-free in your hair, it’s become immune to the products you’re using.

This is because OTC products are laden with harsh chemicals. But these chemicals are harsh on your hair, not on the lice. The problem that occurs is that lice have now become immune to chemicals that are added specifically to eliminate them. Not only are they ineffective, they damage your scalp and hair permanently.

The last thing you want is to become Uncle Fester’s twin. But the truth is, these products are dangerous enough to leave you with a scarred scalp. You may be wondering how lice are able to survive. The truth is, lice are able to hide inside the thick layers of hairs on your scalp so the chemicals don’t do as much damage. Furthermore, nits are unaffected by these chemicals.

Even if you get rid of the adult lice, you still have a problem when it comes to the nits. The average female louse lays up to 10 eggs in a day.

These eggs hatch within 7 days. By the time they’re 10 days old, they’re old enough to lay their own eggs. By the time a month has passed, there are hundreds of lice in your hair.

Getting Rid of the Problem:

The good news is that lice can be removed easily. There’s no need to invest in expensive OTC products that are harmful and ineffective. There are other ways to get rid of the problem without the need for harsh chemicals.
