A. Mainly in the Southwestern U.S. states B. Mainly in the Northeastern U.S. states C. In about 10 or 20 states across the country D. In nearly all of the 50 states

8. Comparative data from head-to-head clinical studies in humans are available for:

A. Spinosad versus permethrin/pyrethrin agents B. Ivermectin versus permethrin/pyrethrin agents C. Spinosad versus ivermectin D. All of the approved pediculicides

9. Which of the following statements about head lice is a myth?

A. An egg found attached to hair shaft close to the scalp may be viable for hatching into a live louse B. The complete life cycle of a louse repeats after a 3-week period C.
