According to a UN survey released in 2019, the number of children under the age of 14 is anticipated to surpass 2.02 billion in 2019 and reach 2.06 billion by 2050. Because of the large number of people who are susceptible to lice infestation, the market is expected to develop. Lice is a parasite that feeds on human blood and thrives primarily on the head or public areas. Most lice treatments must be applied twice, seven to ten days apart, and nits must be removed by combing damp hair with a fine-toothed comb.

Lice are wingless, blood-sucking insects that feed on the blood of humans and live on their heads or scalps. When lice suck blood from people, they inject saliva. Blood coagulation is prevented by injecting saliva. Pruritus is a disease caused by lice saliva entering the human circulatory system. The lice's saliva may trigger severe allergic reactions in some people, and the lice's sharp claws can cause itching and pain by moving through hair strands. Lice treatments (called pediculicides) are accessible without a prescription or over the counter. Shampoos, lotions, and cream rinses are among them.
