Suggest Remedy For Infestation With Lice And Nit On Head
We have an infestation right now (3 out of 5 members) and we treated with R&C on Monday morning. One of my daughters found another live louse on her head last night (36 hrs later). Should we have retreated her right away? I was hesitant because the chemicals are so harsh and I also heard it can take a while to kill the lice. At the same time I am nit picking and found 5-10 per session (less last night).

yes, u can use it second time. many a time when you are applying this agent it wont work for the first time may be concentration is not enough for nit to kill or they may be resistant to drugs. so applying second time is good. it will not cause any health hazards because dose which we are using is within the limits of human use. thnx
