Nits vs Lice: Resistance to OTC lice remedies are increasing. It is important to note that persistence of nits do not imply persistence of infection. Treatment failure may also occur if proper precautions to prevent reinfections are not taken or approp. application per manufactures's rec. are not implemented. Please consult an in network physician for guidance on approach to therapy. Take care.
