10 best remedies against lice

Lice - a problem that must be addressed promptly. There is a stereotype that pediculosis is mainly affected by children, less often adults living in unsanitary conditions. However, this is not the case; any person can be infected; the disease is transmitted through the use of common things or directly upon contact with a carrier of lice and nits. The primary symptom of pediculosis is itching. The head begins to itch due to the fact that at the site of the bite by the parasite a small wound is formed, into which the louse saliva falls, which causes an irritable reaction. The more lice, the more places of bites, respectively, and itching becomes even more unbearable. Most often, the accumulation of parasites is observed in the area of ​​the vertex, occiput and temples.

The louse is a small insect of grayish-brown color, no larger than sesame grain. They are held seamlessly on the hair and move around the entire area of ​​the head, feeding on blood. Female lice make an average of ten nits every day. The laid eggs are firmly attached to the hair in the root zone and have a beige tint, so they are easy to distinguish from dandruff. Nits are difficult to comb, which complicates the process of getting rid of parasites. For eight days, the larvae hatch from them. It takes a week for the larva to become an adult louse and start laying off new nits.

Previously, to get rid of lice used vinegar, kerosene, dichlorvos. All of these tools were not entirely safe and not effective in all cases. Today, the issue of removal of parasites can be solved by pharmacy means. There are many companies that produce anti-lice and nits, both for children and for adults, in various forms: shampoo, spray, emulsion, lotion, cream. We have made a rating of the best drugs that treat head lice. The distribution of places was influenced by the following factors:

• Price;
