Just powders and shampoos to eradicate dangerous
often annoying lice, after several attempts, we must use the hard way. However, the hard way can cause problems because the remedies are often toxic and many species of parasites have become resistant to standard treatments. A new study has analyzed the effects of treatment a week was effective in 91.2% without being toxic. The results of this study were published in the journal Pediatric Dermatology ", showing how a solution called BAL 5% (Lotion Benzyl Alcohol) basically suffocates the lice, thereby avoiding the possibility of such resistance to antibiotic treatment. The classic treatment for choking get limited effect, because the lice protect their respiratory system by closing the entrances to foreign substances. In this way, when you wash away the remedies, lice reproduce quietly respirare.Il new treatment, however, using benzyl alcohol results in the unintentional opening of the respiratory orifices allowing the active substances to penetrate and actually suffocate the pests. The study researchers at the Global Health Associates of Miami (USA), was conducted double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in ten different geographical areas to test the clinical efficacy and safety of BAL solution. The project involved 250 participants divided into two groups likely to receive treatment with the BAL solution or a cream with no active ingredients. The treatment was done for a day and seven days depending on the participant. The effects were then monitored after eight and fourteen days. After eight days there was a 91.2% success rate in patients treated with BAL. The average rate after 14 days was 75.6%. In the group treated with the cream's success was respectively 27.9% and 15.5%. "Current treatments for head lice contain as active neurotoxic pesticides, leading to potential toxicity and other problems, including lengthy applications, the smell, the treatment ineffective. Resistance is also become a problem, now that lice were the subject of a prolonged exposure to these products. As the most popular products were made available, their misuse has become resistant head lice: how bacteria have become resistant to many antibiotics. Since the lotion with benzyl alcohol kills by suffocation, the resistance should not be a problem, "said Dr. Terri L. Meinking, coordinator of the study. (Lm & sdp)
