How this receipt has changed
Over-the-counter lotions containing permethrin or mousses containing pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide are safe and effective for treating pubic lice when used according to instructions.
This receipt has not been rewritten since it was published on 04 Oct 2026. Its current version is 1.
Weight is the one the receipt's balance bar uses: every source counts 1, plus a bounded bonus for how often it has been cited, so one famous paper cannot outweigh three dissenting ones (at most 3x a bare source). It is a reading aid built from facts the receipt already stores, not the engine's confidence.
