Lindane

Lindane is an insecticide used to treat certain skin conditions caused by parasitic infestation, such as scabies and lice. It works by affecting the nervous system of the parasites, leading to their death. However, due to potential side effects and safety concerns, its use has become limited and it is now recommended only under strict medical supervision. Lindane can be absorbed through the skin, and misuse or overuse may cause health risks, including nerve and brain toxicity. Because of these concerns, many countries have restricted or banned the use of Lindane, favoring safer treatment options.
