The appearance of lice and nits on the hair is a very unpleasant problem, which they try not to take out for discussion and try to cope with it on their own. It should be noted that when detecting parasites, measures must be taken quickly and qualitatively, since lice in a short time can postpone a large number of nits (eggs), from which later new individuals appear. Not so long ago, the most acceptable ways to fight lice were the dust and shaving of the head. Now pharmacies offer a mass of all kinds of topical preparations, as they say, for any "taste and color." At the same time modern means often relieve not only of lice, but also of their eggs, which is important. For example, one of the most high-quality and easy-to-use drugs is a nit spray. Thanks to a special spray, the active substance is applied evenly, quickly and economically.
Indications of the sprays from nits
Pediculosis (lice) was previously considered a sign of trouble and poverty. However, this is far from true: none of us are insured against lice and nits, even if all the rules of cleanliness are observed. Moreover, scientists have noticed that of all the hair lice will quickly settle on those that are often washed. This is due to the fact that it is easier to attach to clean skin with a minimal amount of sebaceous secretions.
One of the symptoms of the defeat of lice and nits is a feeling of severe itching. The most frequent localization of unpleasant sensations is the occiput and behind the auricles. Due to itching, the patient may have traces of scratching, scratches, abscesses. Possible common manifestations in the form of deterioration of sleep and loss of appetite.
Especially prone to attack lice children, and if the hair is long, then the risk to get "uninvited guests" is much higher. The fact is that in long hair insects are better hiding. In addition, there is a high probability of infection through other people's hair clips, elastic bands, bows and combs.
If there are a large number of drugs from lice, are there any such remedies that would simultaneously destroy nits? Of course, such sprays from nits can be bought in almost every pharmacy.
Release form
It is necessary 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 soon as possible, after all, after 2-3 weeks of insects on the hair will be much more, and to fight them will become even more difficult.
After treatment of the head with a spray from nits, it is necessary to comb out the hair with a dense comb (some preparations are initially equipped with a special comb). To completely eliminate parasites after 1 week, it is recommended to re-treat.

Spray from nits for children
To completely rid the child of lice it is very important to remove from the hair absolutely all nits. Unfortunately, most anti-pediculosis drugs are more or less toxic, so the following rules should be adhered to before treatment:
- for the treatment of children from nits and lice, only such sprays that are permitted for use at the appropriate age can be used;
- Irrigating the head with a spray should be done as carefully as possible so that the active substance does not fall on the mucous membranes and the eyes of the baby;
- if during the procedure the child complains of poor state of health, it is necessary to remove the drug immediately from the hair and skin, rinsing the head with plenty of water, and immediately contact the doctor.
Among the most famous sprays from nits in children are:
- Pair plus - a nit spray that can be used to treat hair in children from 2.5 years old;
- Nyuda - a spray from parasites and their nits, is allowed for use in children from 3 years of age;
- Lice Guard - a nit spray that is used for children, starting with infancy;
- Paranitis is a spray from nits and adult lice, used from 3 years of age.
Do not forget, after the treatment of hair spray, to replace the child with linen and clothes, as well as personal hygiene items (towels, combs). Caps and other headgear should be washed and must be ironed with a hot iron. At the same time you need to check for pediculosis and other family members. If necessary, you can use a spray of nits and lice for re-treatment.
