The World Health Organization has classified some ingredients in OTC lice treatments as carcinogenic to humans<\/strong><\/span>. According to an article by Jim Algar those ingredients have been banned in the U.S as well as Europe for agricultural use but can be found in shampoos for head lice removal. The insecticide lindane has been classified as carcinogenic to humans by WHO\u2019s International Agency for Research on Cancer.<\/p>\n

Researches that studied lindane in the U.S and Canada have stated that this ingredient has been proven linked to several types of cancer like liver cancer, testicular cancer and non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma. Another ingredient, the DTT, has also been found as carcinogenic. The journal Lancet Oncology<\/i> has published this findings where the WHO\u2019s cancer research agency issued a new classification for lindane as \u201ccarcinogenic to humans,\u201d and has classified DDT as \u201cprobably carcinogenic to humans.\u201d<\/p>\n
