Rules for using lice dust


What is lice?

Pediculosis is a parasitic disease caused by small wingless insects called lice. The main symptom of the disease is itching. Interestingly, during the first infection, itching may not appear for up to 6 weeks. When reinfected, symptoms appear much more quickly. Before removing lice, it is necessary to “recognize the enemy by sight.” Despite the fact that science knows almost everything about lice, there are many myths associated with lice. Here are just a few of them:

  • • Myth 1: Lice are caused by lack of hygiene. Personal hygiene and social status do not in any way affect the likelihood of getting head lice. Anyone can become infected with lice after contact with a sick person or their personal belongings.
  • • Myth 2: Pets carry lice. Human lice do not live on animals. Therefore, there is no need to check the fur of pets for fear of infection.
  • • Myth 3. Only children get lice. Outbreaks of head lice do often occur in children's educational institutions, as children are in close contact with each other. However, anyone can become infected, regardless of age.
  • • Myth 4: Frequent hair washing prevents lice infestation. Washing your hair has no effect on the likelihood of lice. Water also does not help in getting rid of nits, since adult lice attach them to the hair using a special sticky secretion.
  • • Myth 5. Lice can jump and swim. It is not true. Parasites crawl through your hair. Infection occurs through close contact with an infected person.
  • • Myth 6. Lice are a purely aesthetic problem. Head lice are classified as a parasitic disease. Scratching bites leads to the appearance of wounds on the scalp, which can become infected.

The principle of operation of the product

Lice: how to get them out quickly?

Dust is a fast-acting and effective poison. After applying it to the scalp, living insects die instantly (within 10 minutes).

Nits: is it possible to get rid of them forever?

Even among modern drugs, there are no analogues to dust in terms of its effectiveness. DDT instantly kills not only lice, but also nits.

The insecticide penetrates the protective cocoon of the nit and kills its nervous system in the bud, after which the larva stops developing and dies without leaving the cocoon.

In order to destroy 100% of lice and 95% of nits, it is enough to treat the scalp with dust just once.

Main signs of pediculosis

The main signs of the disease are:

  1. 1. Itching. Occurs predominantly in the occipital region. It is noteworthy that itching is present in only 14-36% of infected people.
  2. 2. Insomnia. Lice feed at night, so the itching can intensify at this time, disturbing sleep.
  3. 3. Redness and sores. Most often appear on the back of the head and in the neck area.
  4. 4. Adult lice. They are not easy to see, as the insects move quickly along the hair, hiding from the light.
  5. 5. Nits. These are lice eggs. They are tiny, light brown in color, and oval in shape. Adults attach them to the hair closer to the scalp. Nits cannot be removed with a regular hair comb.

Features of the life of lice

During the life cycle of a lice, there are three stages: nit, nymph and adult.

  • Nits. They are laid by the adult female and attached at the base of the hair. The size of the nits is 0.8 mm by 0.3 mm. Lice are removed from the nits in about a week (6 to 9 days). Viable eggs are usually located close to the scalp (about half a centimeter away).
  • Nymphs. Nymphs hatch from the nits, after which their shell becomes more noticeable, lighter, but remains attached to the hair shaft. Externally, the nymph is no different from the adult head louse, except that it is smaller in size. The nymph matures after three molts and becomes an adult 7 days after birth.
  • Adults. About the size of a sesame seed. They have 6 legs with hooks at the ends, with which they cling to hair. Color varies from brown to grayish-white. It is noteworthy that in people with dark hair, the color of lice is also darker. Females are usually larger than males and can lay up to 8 nits per day. Adult lice can live on a person's head for up to 30 days. To survive, they need to feed on blood several times a day. Without a host, parasites die within 1-2 days.

Features of the product


Is it possible to get rid of lice with dust? Since the poison is mainly from insects, it means that it can also poison lice. Right? No, that's not right.

Under no circumstances should the powder itself be sprinkled on the head in the hope that it will help against uninvited guests. In this way, you can only harm yourself and end up in a hospital bed with severe intoxication.

How to poison lice with dust? To combat pediculosis, only dust soap is used and then with great caution! It is worth noting that this remedy is the most effective.

Lice and nits die from the first use. Modern products do not reach such indicators, but at the same time, they are not so toxic and dangerous to human health.

Additionally, you can familiarize yourself on our website with other folk remedies for the treatment of head lice , such as:

Main transmission methods

A person can become infected with lice in several ways. The main route of transmission is contact with an infected person. Children are more susceptible to head lice because they often come into close contact with each other in kindergarten, school, sports, or camp. Infection can also occur through clothing or personal hygiene items (towels, combs). However, the likelihood of infection in this case is extremely low. Children who come into contact with bedding on which an infected person has previously slept are at greater risk.

How to remove lice

  • Home remedies. There are many recipes for treating head lice at home. These include: kerosene, vinegar, essential oils, etc. If you choose this treatment method, you must be prepared for the fact that the fight against parasites will take some time.
  • Pharmacy drugs With the development of medicine, a large number of effective anti-pediculosis drugs have appeared. Their only drawback is that lice develop resistance (become resistant) to insecticide-based preparations
  • Mechanical method. Probably the oldest way to fight head lice. It consists of regularly combing adults and removing nits.

Remedies for body lice

Getting rid of body lice is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The most effective way to do this is with the help of chemical anti-pediculosis agents. They act for several hours and are available in the form of shampoos, washing powders, aerosols, ointments, etc.

What safe products can the insecticide market offer?

In pharmacies and household chemical stores you can find various remedies for clothing insects. Most are made with permethrin, an insecticidal chemical. We will select the most effective ones based on reviews on the Internet and instructions for them:

  • Akromed. A product for soaking things, diluted 1:50. For 1 kg of things, 5 liters of solution is enough. Soak items for 20 minutes, then wash. The product even destroys lice eggs.
  • Medifox. A kilogram set of laundry requires 5 liters of a 1:99 chemical solution. Soak items for 40 minutes, then wash. Destroys both adults and eggs.
  • Avicin. Dilute the product in water 1:99. For 1 kg of laundry, 400 ml of solution is required. During processing, all signs of the presence of insects are destroyed.
  • Celandine. The product is similar to the previous one and is diluted in the same proportion. Soak items for 20 minutes, then wash.
  • Foresight anti-louse. A strong chemical that is diluted 1:99. Soak items in 5 liters of solution for 20 minutes. Repeat treatment after a week.

Although these chemicals are recognized as safe, do not be too lazy to wash things after treatment and dry them in the fresh air. This way you will protect yourself from poisoning and allergies.

Quick remedies for linen lice?

If you find insects at home, it is clear that you want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. But even using the most effective products, you will have to spend 1-2 hours cleaning.

To get rid of parasites as quickly as possible, use A-PAR aerosol. It is produced on the basis of esdepalletrin and destroys lice within half an hour. To do this, just spray the product on your clothes, wait 30 minutes and wash the clothes. You can process not only clothes, but also furniture.

Another good remedy is Medifox-super. The concentration of the active substance in it is 4 times higher than in simple Medifox. To prepare the emulsion, mix Medifox with water in a ratio of 1:99 and soak the items for 15 minutes, then wash.

If you carry out the procedures correctly, you can get rid of insects in 1 day.

Will Dichlorvos help get rid of linen lice, and is it safe?

The first remedy that most users remember when they discover body lice is Dichlorvos. It is universal against various types of insects, strong and effective.

But can it be used when it comes to processing bed linen and clothing? In general, Dichlorvos can cope with parasites. It penetrates the respiratory tract of parasites and through their shells, causing a nerve paralytic effect. True, the product does not act on nits, and after a couple of weeks the treatment of things will have to be repeated.

If you decide to treat things with Dichlorvos, check if you are allergic to the chemical and take precautions. The whole procedure will look like this:

  1. Wear rubber seals and safety glasses, and make sure there is no food nearby.
  2. Take large plastic bags and put things in them.
  3. Spray the bags into bags and tie them tightly.
  4. Leave things for several hours.
  5. Wash items in a washing machine with powder and dry them outside or in a well-ventilated area.

Treatment with Dichlorvos can be carried out outdoors or by laying things out in the room.

Remember one thing: do not wear things until the smell of the chemical has completely dissipated.

Will anti-pediculosis medications help against bed lice?

Many people who have encountered linen lice try to fight them with remedies for head parasites. One of my friends seriously thought that she could get rid of clothes insects with shampoo.

Of course, she didn't succeed. There is a special category of aerosols and washing powders for processing laundry. They act much more strongly and are not intended for contact with the body. If body lice are infested, do not be too lazy to contact a pharmacy or sanitary and epidemiological station for special medications.

Vinegar

The main disadvantage of this method is that vinegar does not kill adult lice. It simply lacks the properties to do this. However, the acid in vinegar can kill nymphs, young fish that are not yet able to lay eggs. Therefore, the anti-pediculosis effectiveness of vinegar is a controversial issue. However, vinegar does help in the fight against nits. Acetic acid does not dissolve the exoskeleton (the protective shell of nits), and therefore does not kill them. However, it weakens the glue that holds nits on the hair shaft and makes them easier to remove mechanically. To treat with 9% vinegar, it must be mixed with water in a ratio of 1:2, applied to hair, covered with film and left for 30 minutes.

Vinegar for lice and nits

Mode of application

Using dust soap against nits and lice is not particularly difficult. It is used in the same way as specialized shampoos. The sequence of actions looks like this:

  1. The soap is crushed and beaten in a bowl.
  2. The foamed product is distributed over the skin and hair.
  3. The head is covered with a bag or a cap.
  4. The drug is kept for effect for a maximum of 30 minutes.
  5. The head is washed with regular shampoo several times.
  6. Insects are removed using an anti-pediculosis comb. The device for treating hair after removing parasites is a comb with frequent teeth.

To prevent your strands from drying out, use a softening balm. After the procedure, drink a glass of milk, this will help neutralize toxins. If signs of poisoning occur, contact a specialist; do not try to cope with the problem yourself.

As a rule, one treatment with dust soap is enough to get rid of parasites. If it was not possible to achieve results, for subsequent use it is worth choosing less toxic products, for example, tea tree essential oils, tar soap, table vinegar or anti-pediculosis shampoos and sprays (Pedikulen Ultra, Nyuda). Ointments and emulsions “Para +”, “Benzyl benzoate”, and sulfuric acid are also suitable.

Kerosene

This remedy has been used for a long time and, indeed, has a pronounced anti-pediculosis effect. Kerosene is mixed with vegetable oil in a ratio of 1:10. For this purpose, you can use olive, sunflower or corn oil. The resulting mixture is evenly applied to the hair using a cotton swab, the head is covered with film and the product is left for 15 minutes. Before removing lice from a child using this method, keep in mind that kerosene is a toxic and flammable substance. Therefore, this recipe cannot be called safe.

What is dust?

It was produced in the form of powder and soap.

Thanks to its instant action, the dust quickly gained popularity among the population. This insecticide is a strong poison and can kill all insects, not only lice and nits, but also fleas, bedbugs, ticks and locusts.

The powder was used more often in everyday life; it was used to treat premises, animals and even agricultural fields. In this case, the insecticide was mixed with talc, so the powder had its original color.

This form of DDT did not have a strong aroma, was well stored and was easy to use.

Essential oils

Lice are sensitive to certain odors. For example, they do not like the smell of eucalyptus. But the effect can only be achieved through direct contact with parasites. To do this, you need to prepare a special infusion. Eucalyptus leaves are dipped in boiling water and then infused for about 15 minutes. The infusion is applied to the scalp and hair, after which the lice and nits are combed out using a fine-tooth comb. Essential oil blends work similarly. For example, you can mix coconut, jasmine, anise and geranium oils in equal proportions. Their smell also repels lice. The mixture should be left on the head for at least half an hour.

Efficiency in the treatment of pediculosis

Dust is an insecticidal agent with a contact effect. If you do not pay attention to the danger, then this is one of the most effective means of eliminating lice and nits. DDT has the properties of quickly entering the body of a blood-sucking insect through the chitinous shell.

Thanks to strong soaping of the hair, you can achieve instant destruction of parasites. One of the positive qualities of this method is the ability to destroy the strong shell of lice, as a result of which they die in a short time.

Expert opinion

Sidorenko Veronika Leonidovna

Modern products contain dust in concentrations that are harmful to parasites, but safe for humans.

Thanks to the latest developments in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, you can find any effective medicine for head lice. Pharmacies sell various shampoos that can eliminate lice after the first use. They do not poison the body and can be used to treat children.

Side effects and contraindications

If you decide to remove lice with dust, you need to familiarize yourself with the contraindications that exist for the use of dust soap. You need to know what harm it can cause and the concentrations that cause poisoning in humans.

In the mid-twentieth century, dust was used very widely. Its impactful and extremely effective effect on insects caused euphoria. The drug was sprayed over the fields even with the help of airplanes, without any concern for safety measures.

Sobering up came in the 60s of the twentieth century, after cases of dust poisoning, some of which were fatal. Detailed studies showed a terrible feature of the insecticide: it accumulated in the human body and was not removed from there.

Considering that dust cannot be decomposed by water, sunlight, elevated temperatures, and the uncontrolled use of insecticide, it is difficult to say where and when a person accumulated so much toxic substance in the body that its presence caused poisoning.

In addition to the cumulative effect, the dust has the following properties:

  • lowers immunity;
  • provokes mutations;
  • disrupts brain function;
  • promotes the appearance of cancerous tumors;
  • may cause fetal death or serious disturbances in its development in pregnant women.

This forced the governments of most countries to ban the use of dust.

Still, caution must be exercised when using it, especially since there are side effects:

  1. allergic reactions, including skin rashes;
  2. muscle weakness;
  3. attacks of suffocation;
  4. dizziness and headache;
  5. nausea and possibly vomiting.

If any of these symptoms occur, you should visit your doctor. There are also strict contraindications for use:

  • pregnancy and breastfeeding;
  • childhood and adolescence;
  • illness or weakening of the body, dust soap is especially dangerous for asthmatics; damage to the skin.

For those listed on the list, it is better not to take risks and choose a pediculocide that does not have such strict contraindications.

Conclusion

Knowing all the contraindications for use and possible side effects, each person must decide whether to use dust soap for lice and nits or choose another less harmless, but also less effective remedy.

Combing

The number one enemy of lice and nits is the fine-tooth comb. It is almost impossible to successfully get rid of lice without this assistant. Studies have shown that mechanical combing is even more effective than pediculicide treatment. First of all, a fine-tooth comb is the easiest way to diagnose lice. Dermatologists say that diagnosing head lice using a comb is four times more effective and twice as fast as direct visual examination.

Treating lice with a comb is not an easy process, but it is very effective if done correctly. Apply a thick conditioner mixed with a pinch of baking soda to your hair. It will make combing easier. Separate your hair into sections and comb out, starting straight from the scalp. After each stroke, clean the comb with a napkin or paper towel. The procedure must be repeated daily for two weeks until the parasites completely disappear.

Is it safe to fight head lice this way?

In many countries, DDT is an officially banned substance for everyday use and cannot be purchased over the counter.
In our country, dust is not classified as a prohibited substance, but buying it is also problematic.

DDT is a dangerous but effective remedy for lice and nits. If it is not possible to expel parasites in any other way, then you can very carefully use dust soap.

The powder is more toxic, so its use is strictly not recommended.

Dust is a strong poison, which also accumulates in the body, so it is not recommended to use it constantly.

It cannot be used even twice in a row.

Mayonnaise

Mayonnaise is an excellent sauce that is found in almost every kitchen. However, few people know that it can be used to treat head lice. The technique is that viscous mayonnaise closes the respiratory channels of parasites, as a result of which they die from suffocation. People who have tried this product recommend using thick, high-fat mayonnaise. It is applied generously to the hair and the head is covered with film. The sauce is left on the hair for half an hour, after which it is washed off with shampoo. Some people recommend leaving mayonnaise on your hair overnight to increase the effectiveness of treatment.

Analogues of the product

Laundry soap is, indeed, not the best option for treating head lice. Dust and tar soap against lice will be more useful substitutes.

Dust soap

The dust product is perhaps the best of the options under consideration in terms of its effectiveness. But it is also the most harmful for humans. The fact is that the main component of the product is a potent poison used against insects. The insecticide, literally like an acid, dissolves the lice, leaving them with severe burns. The component kills nits with no less effectiveness. However, on human skin the poison causes severe irritation.

Dust soap is contraindicated:

  • pregnant women;
  • children under adolescence;
  • in the presence of individual intolerance to the component;
  • if you are allergic to dust.

Even if there are no contraindications, you should protect your eyes from such a strong substance

It is very important that the poison does not get into your mouth

Dust can cause serious side effects in any patient:

  • allergic reactions;
  • deterioration in general health;
  • the accumulation of carcinogens can lead to the formation of malignant tumors;
  • When absorbed through the skin, dust can cause poisoning and disruption of the digestive system.

In general, removing lice this way is very risky for humans. The substance is poorly excreted from the body, so long-term treatment with this method is extremely undesirable.

Nowadays, due to its high toxicity, dust soap is practically not produced or sold. Although it is relatively inexpensive - only 40-50 rubles per pack.

How to quickly remove lice?

The main mistake that parents make when treating lice is the incorrect use of pharmaceutical products. When treating, be sure to take into account the life cycle of parasites. Most pediculicides do not penetrate the well-protected shell of nits, so treatment must be repeated after 7-10 days, when nymphs hatch from the nits.

Many parents, desperate to cope with lice, spend a lot of effort cleaning the house, suspecting that the child is re-infected with lice through household items. Meanwhile, parasitologists say the fight should be focused on the baby's head, not the environment

A 2010 study published in the journal Open Dermatology found that the risk of transmission from combs, hats and toys is very low. Scientists tested students who had a total of more than 5,500 head lice. However, no parasites were found on their hats. The same goes for floors: When researchers checked the floors of 118 classrooms in a school with a head lice outbreak, no lice were found on them.

Is it possible to remove lice in 1 day?

Unfortunately, you can only get rid of lice in 1 day using a very radical method - shaving your head. However, before resorting to it, consider the following points:

  • • You cannot bring a child with lice to the hairdresser. And shaving your head yourself can lead to cuts and infection.
  • • Shaving can upset the child and mean temporary isolation. Many children are very embarrassed by such a radical hairstyle, as well as the reason why their parents resort to it.
  • • For girls, a shaved head remains a social taboo.
  • • In order to be sure to get rid of lice, you will need to completely shave your hair. Parasites cling to even the shortest hairs, so cutting with a clipper will not be enough

How to protect yourself from lice infestation?

The main method of prevention is to avoid close contact with the head of an infected person. This is difficult to explain to a small child. But teenagers need to understand this simple rule, especially since recent head lice outbreaks around the world have been linked to the habit of taking selfies with children's heads touching. You should also teach your child not to use other people's combs, even though the likelihood of lice being transmitted this way is extremely low.

As a preventive measure, you can use essential oils, especially geranium oil, the smell of which repels lice. You can add a few drops of this oil to your shampoo. Girls with long hair can apply a few drops of oil directly to their hair.

Is reinfection possible?

The likelihood of re-infection with lice at home is very low. However, it is worth washing your child’s bedding at a high temperature. Soft toys can be placed in a sealed plastic bag and left for two days. Contrary to popular myth, lice don't care whether a child's hair is clean or dirty. Therefore, frequent washing does not protect you from lice. The best advice is to avoid direct contact with other people. It is better to wear long hair in a ponytail or braid.

Effective method

Currently, there are many pharmaceutical preparations for lice. However, not everything is so simple with them. Although pediculicides have been approved for use by regulatory authorities and are approved by many pediatricians, there are studies that show they are unsafe. Scientists have found a link between the effects of pyrethrins and pyrethroids and increased levels of estrogen (which can increase the risk of cancer), as well as hyperactivity and other behavioral problems in children.

In addition, insecticidal shampoos often do not work because lice develop resistance to them. As an alternative, you can use the anti-pediculosis drug “Paranite”, which has a completely different principle of action. The dimethicone and mineral oil it contains irreversibly block the respiratory tract of lice, leading to their death. Therefore, the drug does not lose its effectiveness even with repeated use. “Paranit” is a low-hazard compound, so it can be used to treat all family members, including children over 1 year old and pregnant women.

To achieve the effectiveness of treatment with “Paranite”, the drug must be applied generously to each strand of hair, starting from the roots to the very ends. The kit includes a fine-tooth comb, which is very effective both in diagnosing head lice and in combing out lice and nits. The new generation product “Paranit” helps to quickly and safely cope with head lice.

Dust soap for lice and nits: how to use, is dust effective?

Dust is an insecticide that was widely used in the twentieth century to control various insects. It is suitable for killing bedbugs, mosquitoes, moths and lice.

Now people have a large number of modern lice remedies at their disposal, but laundry soap with the addition of dust still does not lose its relevance.

The principle of operation of the product

Lice dust soap resembles ordinary laundry soap, but it contains a powerful insecticide - dichlorodiphenyltrichloromethylmethane (DDT). This active substance penetrates deep into the integument of insects.

It kills not only lice, but also destroys the protective shells of the larvae and eggs, which leads to their inevitable death.

DDT is not eliminated from the body on its own. It accumulates in it, penetrating through scratches, abrasions, wounds or other damage to the skin.

If you recklessly resort to using dust several times in a row, it can harm the health of humans or pets.

Instructions for use

To safely get rid of lice with this product, a person must first understand how to use dust soap correctly.

Sequencing:

  1. Wet hair well with warm water. Lather a piece of dust soap and apply it to the head infested with lice, achieving the formation of abundant foam.
  2. A rubber cap or regular bag is tightly placed on the soaped head to prevent the foam from penetrating beyond its boundaries. Wrap a towel over it.
  3. After the procedure, the foam is thoroughly washed off under running water, and then the hair is washed well with your usual shampoo. To completely wash the dust out of your hair, cleanse your head with shampoo 3-4 times in a row.
  4. After shampooing, a conditioner is applied to the hair. It minimizes the damage caused to hair and scalp by dust.
  5. After drying, comb each strand with a special comb to remove dead nits. It is effective to resort to mechanical removal of lice on slightly damp hair.

There is no need to pre-dilute the dust. Use 5% dust soap. You should not treat your head yourself. It's better to involve a family member or friend.

During manipulation, it is recommended to open the window to allow clean air to flow in. A person infected with lice keeps his mouth and eyes closed throughout the entire manipulation with dust.

A person assisting an infected person must wear rubber gloves and a protective mask on his face. If the patient experiences a burning sensation or discomfort on the head, the soap suds are immediately washed off.

If lice still remain after the first manipulation, then re-treatment is carried out without the use of dust using alternative means.

Remedies for lice + folk advice.

How long to leave on hair

If you have decided to use a dust for lice and nits, you need to find out first of all how long to keep it on your hair. Typically, soap foam needs to be left on the hair for up to half an hour.

In this case, be sure to put a plastic bag or rubber cap on your head.

Is it safe to fight head lice this way?

In many countries, dust is officially prohibited for use against head lice. It cannot be bought on the open market. But even where it is not prohibited, acquiring it is quite problematic.

Dust soap for lice and nits is quite effective. If there is no other way to get rid of lice, then resort to using dust soap. This is a more gentle product, since dust in powder form is even more toxic.

Dust is a strong poison that accumulates in the body. When fighting lice, it is strictly forbidden to use it 2 times in a row.

Efficiency of application

Dust soap against lice has proven itself to be fast-acting and unparalleled in its power of action on various parasites. Most often, one procedure is enough to remove lice.

Sometimes, if a strand of hair is missed or the dust foam is washed off early, several nits survive after the manipulation. In this case, it is recommended to re-treat the head with another drug after 5-7 days.

This is due to the fact that dust is not allowed to be used more than once. It is advisable to use it only in case of emergency.

Side effects and contraindications

Lice dust is contraindicated for use in the following cases:

  • women carrying a child or breastfeeding;
  • in pediatric practice;
  • reduced body defenses;
  • serious psychoneurological diseases;
  • tendency to allergic reactions;
  • irritated or excessively dry scalp;
  • dermatological diseases.

It is strictly forbidden to reuse dust soap, since it contains poison, accumulates in the body and can cause severe poisoning.

In addition, when used in excess, this detergent has the following negative consequences: mutagenic changes, decreased immunity, disruption of brain function, and the formation and growth of cancer cells.

The main signs of dust poisoning:

  • headaches;
  • disturbance of spatial orientation, lethargy;
  • dermatological rashes;
  • nausea, indigestion;
  • discomfort or difficulty breathing;
  • sudden and involuntary contraction of one or more muscles.

If such symptoms appear, you should immediately seek medical help. Independent gastric lavage or taking enterosorbents will not give the desired result.

Alternative remedies

The production of dust in the form of powder or soap has decreased markedly in the 21st century. You can buy it online on special websites selling products for lice and other parasites or in special departments of hardware stores.

An alternative remedy is tar soap.

This product is considered safer and is used for various purposes. Whether tar soap helps in the fight against pediculosis can be suggested by those who have already used it.

Compared to dust, tar is less effective, but the risk of causing harm to human health is also minimized.

In addition, in the absence of dust soap, it is possible to use more gentle products from the pharmacy:

  • Pedilin shampoo, Para-plus aerosol - safe for humans, but at the same time effective means of combating lice;
  • sprays against lice and nits Paranit, Nyuda - used in pediatric practice from 3 years;
  • hellebore water - is an alcoholic tincture of hellebore, which has a detrimental effect on lice;
  • Lice Guard shampoo and spray - suitable for treating children, but I can’t use it for people with allergies.

To combat lice, some practice shaving their heads bald. This helps not only get rid of parasites, but also improve the condition of the scalp.

Dust soap is an effective remedy that provides an almost 100% guarantee of complete removal of lice. But when choosing a pediculicidal drug, it is advisable to take into account all contraindications and possible adverse reactions.

Some, after weighing all the positive and negative sides, decide to give preference to more gentle drugs from the pharmacy.
