The Anti-lice Patrol

This year is entitled “The Anti-lice Patrol", And there is no way ... A study has revealed that every year, 14% of school-age children are affected by lice and as every year at the beginning of the course, a new campaign begins.

Cinfa laboratories want us all to be aware of the need to prevent, diagnose or treat lice infestation, as they suggest that the number of outbreaks that occur in schools are due to lack of treatment or inappropriate use of pediculicides ( lice treatment).

With this campaign they also try to demystify the association of lice with the lack of hygiene, in addition the image of the campaign is inspired by children's drawings and the laboratory will deliver informational leaflets in schools that explain how to recognize a louse, what symptoms are suffered , how can they be removed, etc. Although we have already read on occasion that lice are becoming more resistant, the WHO (World Health Organization) recommends that treatments with 1% permethrin be performed, as the least toxic for man and more for the parasite, It produces paralysis and death, although attached to piperonyl butoxide is a lethal weapon for lice that have developed resistance.

Home remedies have also worked for many years, such as vinegar baths, but with the resistance shown by these parasites are not as functional, what other treatments do you know?
