Is there a treatment recommendation for
certain age groups?
Before treating young children, please
consult the child’s doctor, or the health
department for the recommended treat-

Are there any side effects from using these

Treatments for head lice are generally
safe and effective when used correctly.
Some treatments may cause an itching or
a mild burning sensation caused by in-
flammation of the skin on the scalp.
Most products used to treat head
lice are pesticides that can be absorbed
through the skin. Therefore, all medi-
