| | HEAD LICE |
 | | It is the safest of all the pesticide-type lice shampoos. | | | Over the years some lice have become resistant to the commonly used medicated shampoos. | | | Immediate recurrence — if you still notice live lice on the scalp within a day or two after using the medication, this can either mean that the lice are resistant to that particular shampoo or your child has a particularly heavy infestation. |

| | You may be able to see the lice or nits by parting your child's hair into small sections and checking for lice and nits on the scalp, behind the ears, and around the nape of the neck (it's rare for them to be found on eyelashes or eyebrows). | | | Call your child's doctor if your child is constantly scratching his or her skin or complains of itches that don't go away, especially on parts of the body that are covered with hair. | | | The doctor should be able to tell you if your child is infested with lice and needs to be treated. |
