Head Lice Removal Products – Are You Really Killing the Lice?

Once you you or your children are diagnosed with head lice, your first instinct is usually to turn to a lice shampoo. There is widespread usage of these over the counter lice removal products, but their efficacy remains questionable.

Are You Really Killing the Lice?

You use the shampoo, you wash it off, and you think the lice are all gone. A few days later, and they’re back at it again! It’s time to face the facts, and realize that these products are not effective in getting rid of lice at all. There are high chances of repeat infestations and they don’t usually take care of the nit situation. The lice also tend to evolve and develop a resistance to the chemicals, therefore eventually making this method completely useless in combating infestations.

But what about the handy home remedies, you ask? Research indicates that these so-called effective remedies are not actually killing the lice, but merely suppressing them, and thus eventually leading to resurgence in their activity.

Not Only Ineffective but Harmful Too!

These over the counter products are not only completely ineffective, but they aren’t the safest method for lice removal either. They contain toxic chemicals that can impact the health of you or your child, especially if used repeatedly and frequently. Pediculicides, which are the specific chemicals aimed at killing lice, target the nervous system of these critters. Due to this, exposure can result in compromising the nervous system of young children too.

The fact of the matter is that every individual reacts differently to different substances. If a few people are claiming OTC lice removal products as completely reliable, then it does not automatically dub them as safe. People, particularly children, who use these lice shampoos, can develop severe allergies or worse, depending on their physiology. It’s just too much of a risk to take, especially when it comes to your young child.
