Head lice are tiny, wingless
insects that reside on the scalp and
hair of humans (mostly children).
Lice live o ff the blood they suck
from bites to the scalp. Infestations
are highly contagious and affect
more than 10 m illion Americans
each year. Lice can be transferred
on combs, brushes, and other ob
jects. Outbreaks are common in
schools and day care centers. Bites
and fecal deposits from head lice
may cause itching o f the scalp.
The adult female louse may
lay up to 150eggs in one instance.
The eggs become attached to hair
follicles. Effective treatment of
head lice involves killing the lice
as well as eggs attached to the hair.
According to the Handbook o f
N o n p rescrip tio n D rugs, the
m edicine o f choice for treating
head lice in adults and children is
1 % permethrin cream rinse. Be
fore applying the rinse, shampoo
the hair with regular shampoo.
Rinse the hair before applying
permeth-rin. Let the rinse remain
onthescalpfor lOminutes. Rinse
and dry the hair again. Remove
lice eggs and egg shells from the
hair with the special comb pro
vided. A second treatment in 7 to
10 days may he necessary to kill
lice that hatch after the first treat
ment. Washcombsand hairbrushes
in the lice-killing rinse and then boil
them. All family members in con
tact with the affected child should
be treated. Product labeling sug
gests that you not use permethrin
rinse on children under age two.
