How do you apply BARS lice drops to people? - in detail

Applying BARS lice drops requires a systematic approach to ensure maximum efficacy and safety. Follow each step precisely.

1. Prepare the environment

   • Choose a well‑ventilated area.
   • Lay a clean towel or disposable pad on the surface where the person will sit or lie down.
   • Keep children’s toys, food, and personal items away from the treatment zone.

2. Gather materials

   • BARS lice drop bottle (check expiration date).
   • Protective gloves (optional but recommended).
   • Fine‑tooth comb or lice removal comb.
   • Soft towel for drying.
   • Timer or watch.

3. Pre‑treatment inspection

   • Separate hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties.
   • Examine the scalp for visible lice or nits to confirm the presence of infestation.

4. Application procedure

   • Wear gloves to prevent direct contact with the product.
   • Tilt the head back slightly, exposing the scalp.
   • Hold the dropper close to the scalp and release a few drops onto each section, ensuring coverage of the hair roots and surrounding skin.
   • Continue until the entire scalp, from hairline to nape, is saturated.
   • Avoid excessive dripping; a thin, even layer suffices.

5. Absorption period

   • Keep the head tilted for 5–7 minutes to allow the solution to penetrate the hair follicles.
   • Do not wash, rinse, or comb the hair during this interval.

6. Post‑application care

   • After the absorption time, gently blot excess liquid with the towel.
   • Use the fine‑tooth comb to remove dead lice and nits, working from the scalp outward.
   • Repeat combing every 2–3 days for at least two weeks to catch any newly hatched nymphs.

7. Cleaning and disposal

   • Wash hands thoroughly after removing gloves.
   • Dispose of the empty bottle according to local hazardous‑waste guidelines.
   • Launder any towels or fabrics that contacted the drops.

8. Precautions

   • Do not apply to broken, irritated, or inflamed skin.
   • Avoid contact with eyes, nose, and mouth; rinse immediately with water if accidental exposure occurs.
   • Store the product out of reach of children and pets, in a cool, dry place.

By adhering to this protocol, the BARS lice drops are delivered effectively, reducing the likelihood of recurrence while minimizing discomfort and potential side effects.
