What Are Super Lice?
Resistance to Treatments: Super lice are head lice that have adapted to survive the insecticides found in many over-the-counter and prescription lice treatments. This means that the typical shampoos, lotions, and sprays designed to kill lice may be less effective or even ineffective against them.
Characteristics: They are genetically different from ordinary lice and have evolved to withstand the chemicals used in many lice treatments. Super lice are not a different species; they are simply head lice with specific genetic mutations that confer resistance.
Spread and Symptoms: Super lice spread the same way as regular lice, through close contact and sharing personal items. The symptoms, such as itching and discomfort, are also the same.
Treatment: Addressing super lice often requires more intensive treatment methods. Nit Picky’s effective super lice treatment method is a non-chemical treatment with safe and effective Nit Picky products that kill effectively eliminate these resistant super lice.
