ABOUT HEAD LICE

- lice live close to the scalp where they feed on blood and this can cause the scalp to itch.

-headlice cannot jump, fly or swim and can only be acquired by direct head to head contact. This is why lice are commonly found on heads of children and why it is important to check the heads of all the family members when head lice are found.

- headlice have no preference for clean or dirty hair

- the female louse will lay between 3 and 5 eggs per day and these hatch after 7 days. This is why it is important to repeat the treatment after 7 days to ensure that any lice which have hatched since the first application are killed.

-once the louse has hatched, the empty case (known as a nit) will remain glued to the hair shaft. Nits are completely harmless and can be removed with the fingers or a fine toothed comb.

The gel is suitable for adults and children aged 6 months and over.

Always read all packaging and directions carefully before using your purchases.
