Not Just Itching: On More Troublesome Side Effects Of Head Lice

Since their inception, head lice have been focused on one goal: to cause chaos in human hair. These critters bring all the cringe inducing problems you would expect from a crawling parasite with too many feet.

Lice epidemics come as no surprise, not any more. Millions of people are troubled by head lice each year in the US. With tiny anatomies packing a considerable strength to hold on to and multiply in hair, head lice have created a few note-worthy side effects.

Trouble #1: Sleep Is For The Lice-Free

First off, you and your head lice have quite the contradictory relationship. When you are awake, moving your hair around the entire day, that is when the lice refrain from making too many moves.

Come night, when you are at repose, and lice throw a party in your hair. They will drink your blood, rave on your scalp, scurry in your locks—and inadvertently destroy a peaceful slumber.

Your nights now belong to lice, as you try and sooth the itches in your head during the ungodly hours.

Trouble #2:  Scratching Overload

While lice have no direct health hazards, they do cause you to tear the epidermal layers of your scalp with your nails as you persistently chase after the troublesome itches. Problem is, while you manage to curb the itch, you wreak havoc on your own skin, making it more susceptible to infections.

That being said, it is imperative you chase the lice away as soon as possible, for the sake of both your skin and sanity.

Trouble #3: Lice Of The Future

Despite the alarming number of studies—most conducted by the FDA—that have proven the presence of carcinogenic contents in various lice-removal insecticides, the use of these agents remains persistent.

The troubles do not end here. As if toxicity is not harming enough, the consistent use of lice-killers has given the rise of a new generation of “super lice”. These critters are resistant to pesticide compounds, thus stronger and more stubborn than their ancestors.

Quite the disturbing side effects, huh? When dealing with lice it is best to hit them hard and hit them consistently.
