What is Malathion?
Malathion is a generic prescription topical drug used to kill head lice and their eggs.
The active ingredient in Malathion is a powerful neurotoxin used widely in agricultural and domestic insecticides. Malathion works by essentially switching the nerves in the insect's body to the “on” position without switching them off. The insect loses the ability to move or breathe properly and dies. Malathion is not easily absorbed into the body, so it is safer to use on people than other insecticides.
Malathion is applied to dry hair in sufficient quantity to get the hair wet. Malathion remains on the hair for 8 to 12 hours, at which time it is shampooed out of the hair. A nit comb should be used on the hair after the final rinse.
What are the side effects of Malathion?
Most side effects of Malathion are site reactions where Malathion has been applied, such as burning, stinging, irritation, and dry hair. Severe side effects include second-degree chemical burns. Allergic reactions are rare but will include rash, redness, and irritation.
