Benzyl benzoate had to be used more than once, since I have three children. A simple way to use, great effect and low cost. The lack of exposure to parasite eggs is the only drawback of this drug. When used for the first time, this nuance was not paid much attention. And already in 5-7 days the head of the daughter was again covered with lice. Now, as a binding, I will definitely re-process in order to finally get rid of lice. While the tool does not let down.

I am ashamed to admit, but at the age of 30 I was faced with pediculosis. Where did the lice come from, still can not understand. I think it happened during a trip in a minibus. There was a very strong crush, and apparently someone standing nearby and became the source of my problems. In the pharmacy, I was offered a variety of lice products, but I was attracted by the cost and feedback on the benzyl benzoate emulsion.Bought, came home, made 2 treatments and forgot about lice, like a bad dream. I advise you, a very effective drug.
