USING DANGEROUS CHEMICALS TO TREAT LICE

The FDA recommends only a single treatment with Lindane. This is because of the risk of serious side effects and even death when Lindane is applied too early the second time. It is not known how soon after applying Lindane that it is safe to apply a second dose.

Lice have become resistant to these chemical/pesticides so multiple treatments are necessary and don’t always work even then.  If you suspect that the first treatment was not completely successful because you see live lice.

  • Lindane can cause serious side effects including seizures and deaths have been reported to the FDA in patients who use too much Lindane or after a second treatment with Lindane.
