Getting rid of lice used to be a lot more straightforward. When your kid came home with a note about a lice outbreak in the class, you simply combed through their hair to check for the bugs and eggs. If there were some, you bought the special shampoo and took care of the infestation.
Even going through and washing any infected clothing and bedding wasn’t entirely unmanageable. It was a pain in the butt, but once you took care of it, it was done. That may no longer be the case.
Like all living things, lice have been evolving. Specifically, some lice have developed a resistance to the drugs we’re used to using. One such example is RID, the commonly used over the counter shampoo used to snuff out lice infestations. There are now strains of Super lice that can survive such medications.
The phrase “Super lice” refers to strains of lice that are resistant to pyrethroids. Pyrethroids are the chemical agents most commonly used to treat head lice. Over the course of hundreds of years, head lice have learned to cope and even survive when put into contact with this chemical. This is bad news for parents of children with lice.
Many methods used to eliminate head lice are no longer useful against these evolved strains. Popular all-natural treatments like tetri oil and peppermint oil are not effective for treating super lice. However, all hope is not lost. There is research being done around the clock to develop new treatments. Additionally, dousing one’s head in coconut oil still helps to suffocate the bugs before combing out the eggs.
