Therefore, the question of selection anti-pediculosis in such a situation arises by itself. However, many people who have experienced modern insecticidal drugs do not get the desired result, as a result of which they turn to well-known folk methods of struggle. One of these is the dust soap for lice.

Features of the tool

For the first time, people began to use dust soap against lice at the beginning of the last century, when there were no preparations for controlling parasites in such volume as today. Attracted by the low cost of a soap bar. But the effect was simply unsurpassed - sometimes just one treatment with dust soap was enough to get rid of lice. Used this tool against fleas.

The composition of the dust soap is very reminiscent of laundry or tar soap. A distinctive feature is only dichlorodiphenyltrichloromethylmethane - a powerful insecticidal component. Penetrating under the chitinous cover of insects, the poison causes imminent death lice. The insecticide also has a detrimental effect on nits, corroding their protective membranes.

After some time, scientists were able to determine that the popular dust soap has side effects. The poisonous substance acting on insects also accumulates in the human body. The accumulation of insecticide occurs with repeated use of dust soap, it can also penetrate damaged areas of the skin when combing. Severe poisoning can result in extreme poisoning. Signs of intoxication are:

Not recommend elimination of lice and nits in children use dust soap. Even in early childhood, such an experiment was conducted by my grandmother when I washed their heads with my sister. It didn’t really affect me, from its specific smell only a little headache. My sister was very ill, either because she was smaller than me, or she got this “miracle cure” more, but in the end she even had to see a doctor.

Dustov soap repeatedly brought me lice in childhood. There was simply no other way. The only thing is the specific smell, which lasted for several days. But nothing, everyone seemed alive and well. However, if I now had to deal with the destruction of lice, I would choose anti-pedicul shampoo.
