How come the quantity of lice varies from head to head?
Unfortunately there is no good answer to the question of why some infestations are relatively minor while others are major. Even within the same family, one childs head might attract lice while the other childs head remains lice free. Some factors that distinguish the different situation include your childs playmates, and the degree of closeness a child exhibits with others. No one has so far been able to explain why some children get more lice than others. One belief is that there is something about the chemistry of a childs skin that attracts lice. When used as a preventative measure, NITMIX will mask this scent which may reduce the likelihood of becoming infected or of becoming infected less frequently.
