L.E.A.R.N.

The First Place MVP2 Award was awarded to the Sanitation District of Los Angeles County, City of Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation, and the National Pediculosis Association for its Lindane Usage Reduction Project. Lindane is a persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemical used in prescription medication for head lice and scabies. A single treatment for lice contains enough Lindane to pollute six million gallons of water. See more.

NPA

Lindane Education And Research Network (L.E.A.R.N.) is a project of the National Pediculosis Association® (NPA)

The NPA, a non-profit tax exempt, 501(c)3, organization, receives no government or industry funding and provides this website with proceeds from our educational resources and the LiceMeister® Comb.

Purpose

L.E.A.R.N. is a repository for information regarding the past and current use of the chemical lindane. This is not a website for those seeking medical advice regarding treatment for head lice or scabies. Lindane has a history of use in pest extermination, agriculture, veterinary medicine and as a treatment for human lice and scabies.
