A Factual Breakdown Of Super Lice

Lice—it’s a word that does not fail to make everyone shudder. Now imagine lice, but only way more stubborn. At this point, you’ve probably heard about it, a new wave of lice that remains unaffected by conventional lice treatments. We call this new generation stronger lice “super lice”.

As reported cases of lice infestations suggest, super lice have spread out 48 states. What’s the big deal about them? Let’s take a look at a few facts:

Fact #1

Super lice are not actually more dangerous than regular lice, just more resistant to common home remedies and over-the-counter (OTC) treatments.

Fact #2

It’s actually because of the consistent use of drugstore treatments that super lice are a thing! Most pests develop a gene mutation to adapt to the effects of pesticides/insecticides used to kill them, head lice are no exception.

Fact #3

Head lice, including super lice, have an average life cycle of 25-30 days. The treatment you choose is ineffective, and you miss out even a single nit (lice egg), you’re in for a nasty surprise a couple of weeks later!

Fact #4

Speaking of ineffective lice treatment, pyrethroid-based lice shampoos/oils/lotions are all included. Home remedies such as essential oils also fail to kill super lice and nits.

Fact#5

The only effective form of treatment is where you kill the lice and nits physically, i.e. by taking them all out of hair. Effective lice removal involves a professional approach, using herbal hair products to prep the hair before combing all lice and nits out with top-quality combs. It’s the one-way head lice and nits cannot resist at all.

Anyone can get head lice, sometimes at the most unexpected of times and places. There’s no actual evidence that super lice only infest dirty hair, in fact, lice actually prefer their hosts tidy. It’s easier to get around!
