What is delousing powder?

Delousing powder is a type of insecticide powder specifically designed to kill lice, fleas, ticks, and other ectoparasites that infest humans and animals. It contains chemical compounds such as pyrethrin, permethrin, and other insecticidal ingredients that disrupt the nervous system of lice and other parasites. Delousing powder can be used on humans and animals, but the concentration and ingredients may differ based on the type of infestation. It is generally applied to the hair, skin, clothing, and bedding and left for a specified period to kill the parasites. Delousing powder is available in various forms, including shampoos, powders, and sprays, and is widely used in hospitals, schools, animal shelters, and other institutions to prevent the spread of lice and other parasites. However, it is essential to use delousing powder with caution as it can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, and other health hazards if not used correctly.
