Although some people are embarrassed by this, head lice is a problem that should not be thrown under the rug. Usually they are not the cause of any illness but they will not clear up until a treatment is being used. Lice are insect that live on animals like dogs, cats, monkeys and can live on humans too if there exists a contact between humans and the infested animal. The symptom includes very hard itching, especially behind the ears and the back of the head. The best treatment for head lice is shampoo based, followed by systematic search for lice and nits with a comb every day for at least a week. If there are any nits several days after the treatment based on head lice shampoo, don’t worry thinking the treatment did not work because this will stop and everything will turn back to normal. You will have to keen and if you find lice after the treatment, it means that either the treatment did not work or you’ve been infested again. A word of caution must be added at this moment: be careful not to use a dog shampoo thinking it would be a good head lice shampoo. Although it has some similar ingredients make sure you don’t use a shampoo design for your dog in treating yourself, or your child.There are several head lice shampoos on the market today, most of them based on pesticides, a toxic chemical that can have side effects like irritation of the skin. Those that are water-soluble gel based are most indicated, because of its non-pesticide formula, working to suffocating head lice. So, if head lice are the major concern troubling you make sure you get over the embarrassment issue and use the best quality treatment on the market.
