  Protect against re-infestation:

To prevent the infestation from spreading, follow these instructions carefully:

• Notify any person who has been in close contact with you so that other cases can be found and treated in the same time frame

• Soak brushes and combs in hot water above 54º C for 5-10 minutes then rinse thoroughly with hot water

• Articles such as clothing, towels and bed linens may harbour lice or nits. To clean:
- Wash all clothing, towels, bedding, etc. in very hot water and dry in the dryer by using the hot cycle for at least 20 minutes, or
- Seal in a plastic bag for two weeks and wash normally



Do not use if allergic to chrysanthemum, pyrethrin, or synthetic pyrethroids. Do not use on eyelashes or eyebrows. Do not exceed 2 applications in 24 hours.

Warning: For external use only. Harmful if swallowed. Do not inhale. Contact should be avoided with eyelashes, eyes, nose and mouth, and other mucosal areas. In the case of infection or skin irritation, discontinue use and consult a physician.
