Pouxit Répulsif Spray Préventif Anti Poux 75 ml in our online organic pharmacy, is used during periods of lice epidemics (back-to-school, summer camps...) or when there's a risk of reinfestation.
Pouxit repulsive spray helps prevent head lice infestations or reinfestations of the scalp. It is recommended for adults and children aged 3 and over.
Pediculosis is the 2nd most frequent infection at school, after respiratory infections. Nearly 85% of schoolchildren are likely to catch head lice at least once during their school career.
Lice are present all year round, but with seasonal peaks linked to the start of life in a community. Often, one case is enough to trigger an epidemic.
Using a repellent prevents our children from being infested or reinfested by lice during epidemic periods.
Pouxit Répulsif Spray Préventif Anti Poux 75 ml is a lotion that prevents scalp infestations by lice (head lice) in adults and children over 3 years of age.
This repellent keeps lice at bay and reduces the risk of re-infestation. It's ideal during periods of head lice contamination at school, often seen at the start of the new school year.
It contains Citriodiol®, a naturally-derived repellent with proven efficacy.
Citriodiol is extracted from the Eucalyptus Citriodora (or Lemon Eucalyptus) plant. This naturally-occurring substance has been shown to repel a number of biting insects (lice, mosquitoes, ticks...).
We also offer POUXIT Spécial environnement Spray végétal 150ml, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
Pouxit repulsif is used during lice epidemics (back-to-school, summer camps...) or when there's a risk of reinfestation.
To combat lice infestations, it's essential to eliminate all stages of the insect's development - adults, larvae and eggs (nits) - to truly get rid of the problem.
Lice have no natural enemies, and a female louse can lay up to 10 nits a day, i.e. 300 nits during her adult life (see diagram opposite). Proliferation can thus be extremely rapid.
Lice can survive for up to 2 days outside the scalp. Lice can therefore be transmitted :
It's important not to let children scratch too often, as this could lead to lesions and, more seriously, a bacterial skin infection.

Presentation
Pouxit comes in a 75 ml spray.
As lice are difficult to see with the naked eye, they can be detected by the symptoms they cause. Indeed, the first time a child is infested with lice, severe itching usually appears 2 to 6 weeks after infection. Small red spots may also be visible. In the case of head lice, itching occurs both day and night, and the visible lesions caused by scratching are mainly located behind the ears, on the neck and nape of the neck.
How do you examine your child's hair?
The start of the new school year is often synonymous with the arrival of head lice in our children's hair. Just thinking about it can give us a phantom itch.
