The treatment of lice or the pet peeve of all parents, especially when these little parasites become resistant to different anti-lice shampoos. In fact, for a treatment to be fully effective, it must be capable of both killing lice and also nits .
CAUTION : treatment is mandatory: there is no spontaneous healing! The longer we wait before applying an appropriate treatment, the longer and more complicated it will be to eradicate all the parasites.
Two categories of anti-lice exist:
Neurotoxins are irritating and can lead to resistance phenomena, but they act really well on nits. They usually come in the form of a spray to spray on dry hair . The treatment must be done in a ventilated place and away from any flame, protecting the face and especially the eyes, nose and mouth. Rinse thoroughly to avoid recontamination. Precaution of use: most of these products are contraindicated before the age of 2 or 3 years and not for pregnant women, contraindicated also in case of asthma or respiratory problem. Among the molecules constituting these products we find: pyrethrum and synthetic pyrethroids. For all these reasons but especially for all the resistance that these products have generated: they are hardly marketed anymore.
Asphyxiants are anti-lice shampoos without insecticides which act mechanically by blocking the respiratory orifices of adult lice and nits, thus causing their death by asphyxiation. They are generally less aggressive for the scalp and without toxicity for the patient and non-polluting for the environment. So far these new products have not created resistance in the lice and they do not irritate the scalp . They can be used from 6 months. The lotions are applied line by line on the dry scalp and the application time varies depending on the product from 10 minutes to 12 hours. Then simply rinse the head with a mild shampoo and then comb the hair with a fine comb to remove the dead parasites. It is recommended to restart the application the next day or a few days later. These products generally contain silicone complexes (dimeticone, cyclomethicone)
