Nits sprays

The appearance of lice and nits on the hair is a very unpleasant problem, which they try not to bring up for discussion and try to cope with it on their own. It should be noted that when parasites are detected, measures must be taken quickly and efficiently, since lice can lay a large number of nits (eggs) in a short period of time, from which new individuals then appear. Not so long ago, dust and shaving the head were considered the most acceptable methods of combating lice. Now pharmacies offer a lot of all kinds of drugs for external use, as they say, for every "taste and color". At the same time, modern products often get rid of not only lice, but also their eggs, which is important. For example, one of the highest quality and most convenient to use drugs is a spray for nits. Thanks to a special sprayer, the active substance is applied evenly, quickly and economically.

Indications nail sprays

Pediculosis (lice infestation) was previously considered a sign of trouble and poverty. However, this is far from true: none of us is immune from lice and nits, even if we follow all the rules of cleanliness. Moreover, scientists have noticed that of all the hairs, lice are more likely to settle on those that are washed more often. This is due to the fact that it is easier for insects to attach themselves to clean skin with a minimum amount of sebum.

One of the symptoms of lice and nits is a feeling of intense itching. The most common localization of unpleasant sensations is the back of the head and behind the ears. Due to the itching, the patient may have traces of scratches, abrasions, and pustules. General manifestations such as poor sleep and loss of appetite are also possible.

Children are especially susceptible to lice attacks, and if their hair is long, the risk of getting "uninvited guests" is much higher. The fact is that insects hide better in long hair. In addition, there is a high probability of infection through other people's hairpins, elastic bands, bows and combs.

If there are many medications against lice, are there any similar products that would simultaneously destroy nits? Of course, such sprays against nits can be bought in almost every drugstore.

Release form

It is important to know that approximately 20 days pass between the deposition of nits and the appearance of an adult parasite. Therefore, it is advisable to carry out the treatment as early as possible, because in 2-3 weeks there will be many more insects on the hair, and it will be even more difficult to fight them.

After treating the head with a spray against nits, it is necessary to additionally comb the hair with a tight comb (some preparations are initially equipped with a special comb). To completely eliminate parasites, it is recommended to repeat the treatment after 1 week.

Nits spray for children

To completely rid your child of lice, it is very important to remove absolutely all nits from the hair. Unfortunately, most anti-lice products are toxic to varying degrees, so before starting treatment, you should follow these rules:

• to treat children from nits and lice, you can only use sprays that are approved for use at the appropriate age;
• spraying the head with a spray should be done with extreme caution so that the active substance does not come into contact with the baby’s mucous membranes or eyes;
• If during the procedure the child complains of feeling unwell, it is necessary to immediately remove the drug from the hair and skin by rinsing the head with plenty of water, and immediately consult a doctor.

Among the most well-known sprays against nits in children are:

• Para Plus is a spray against nits that can be used to treat hair in children from 2.5 years of age;
• Nyuda is a spray against parasites and their nits, approved for use in children from 3 years of age;
• Lice Guard is a spray against nits that is used for children, starting from infancy;
• Paranit is a spray against nits and adult lice, used from the age of 3.

After treating the hair with the spray, do not forget to change the child's underwear and clothes, as well as personal hygiene items (towels, combs). Hats and other headwear should be washed and ironed with a hot iron. At the same time, other family members should be checked for pediculosis. If necessary, you can use a spray for nits and lice for repeated treatment.
