Lice becoming resistant to OTC medications

[Webfoot Hero]

A new study is showing that more lice populations are becoming resistant to the most common over-the-counter lice medications. Sounds like some of the natural remedies still work but losing effectiveness of the OTC medications is a big blow to fighting them. I had lice once as a kid and hated going through the medicated shampoo because of the smell. Since I have lots of friends with school-aged kids, this may make me finally decide to shave my head so I don't have to worry.

It's probably because the formula hasn't changed in years. We're seeing the same thing happening with fleas.
