Can itchtammol kill lice ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it: I see nothing in this common product that would kill lice unless it suffocated them accidentally. Since lice can go without air for 18 hours I find that unlikely. Lice are resistant to some of the OTC products in the US, but there are several that remain effective.
