Super lice are here to kill your good hair day
Well, scientists have bad news. A new study shows that lice are becoming more and more difficult to get rid of. A new strain is even proving to be resistant to common over-the-counter treatments. And, to make this even harder to take, these nasty little buggers are spreading faster than anyone thought they would. A poll of moms in the U.S. showed that one-third of parents were unable to treat their kid’s lice with a traditional medication. Holy super lice, Batman.
There IS a ray of sunshine in the form of tea tree oil and other more time consuming natural remedies. Picking through a removing nits is still effective, and applying the oil does seem to do the buggies in. And if all else fails? Well, call the doc.
