I smeared the child with cream, they stood it for 10 minutes, though then I took it out for 2 hours every dead louse. I had to work hard with combing nits, because Nyx did not work on them, but they managed to get rid of everyone.

My daughter brought this muck from school. I looked: horror, how many were these lice and nits in hair. I bought the Nyx remedy, and we processed the whole head with it. Together with pediculicidal ointment acquired a special comb for combing lice and their eggs. It turned out quite expensive, because the tube was only enough for one treatment. And the next time I had to buy again. After the second procedure failed remove lice from a child. Enough effective remedy for pediculosis, but not the most budget option.

Wound up lice in a child. After a long selection process, Nyx bought as the most effective and non-allergenic drug. Indeed, after treatment, there were no signs of allergies. But when he began to comb out the lice, he discovered that not everyone was dead, there were also living ones. Therefore, after a few days, the procedure had to be repeated, as was the combing out of all parasites. It helped.
