which in this case, refers to Pedicels humans capitols, or the common onus louse.
Head lice are definitely hardy creatures that despite our best efforts continue to plague humans in all walks of life and of all socioeconomic backgrounds. Children are the most susceptible to outbreaks of lice and girls, with their longer hair, tend to have them more often than boys. Even though these products are often used on young children, treatments sold commercially may allow a variety of chemical compounds.
One of the most common pesticides used in lice treatments is synthetic pyrethrum, which is a derivative of a natural pesticide coming from the chrysanthemum. Even natural pyrethrums should be toxic in excessive amounts. Pyrethrum, another pesticide, is less toxic than pyrethrum but concerned parents are still wary of its use.
The chemical compound linden, once easily found in commercial treatments has been banned in several countries due to its questionable side effects, including increasing one’s risk of getting cancer.
It is highly suggested to not use any product or treatment containing lindens.
Yet another chemical, marathon, is also used for ending onus lice. Although mostly considered to be safer than linden, marathon is highly inflammable and questions about daylong term exposure are still unanswered.
Fortunately there are a bevy of non-toxic nous lice treatments to consider that won’t be harmful to you, your children, or the environment that should still be quite effective, and most especially when used correctly. The most trenchant nous lice treatments will focus on completely removing not only the lice but their eggs or nits, which are even smaller than the lice themselves. Experts agree that parents and others who want to avoid the potential dangers of exposure to harmful chemicals should look for alternative methods.
Organophosphates, which are completely natural, such as those found in certain essential oils such as tea tree, eucalyptus, and neem oils have shown great promise for ending nous lice and pose no known upbeat risks.
Another pesticide-free possibility to consider is smothering the lice, although their nits will still have to be removed by hand before hatching and maturing. With this method you will need a viscous substance that will fully coat the hair and scalp such as petroleum jelly, mayonnaise, or olive oil. The smothering agent must be mitt in place for several hours, preferably overnight, to ensure the lice will actually be smothered. KW
