First of all... there is no "easy" way to get rid of lice.  Get some Rid from the store and use it.  But the shampoo alone isn't going to do any good.  You have to sit down and go strand by strand and pick the nits out of the hair.  This is where the term "nit-picking" comes from.  It's very tedious and time-consuming.  Also, you have to go through the house and wash all pillows, blankets, etc.  Take stuffed animals and dolls and either put them in the dryer for 20 - 30 minutes (the heat will kill the lice) or you can put them in a plastic garbage bag, tie it up and don't open it for 6 months.  There's also a spray that Rid makes that you'll need to buy to spray down mattresses, furniture, carpet, etc.  If the over-the-counter Rid shampoo isn't working, there's a prescription shampoo that the doctoc can prescribe.\n\nLice is spread in "clean" hair.  It does transfer by using the same hairbrush, but it also transfers from wearing the jacket of someone who has lice or brushing up against their backpack.  It's transferred very easily and in ways you wouldn't really think of.  Once the lice is gone, if there is an "epidemic" at your child's school or daycare, you may want to put hair gel, mousse or hairspray in your child's hair to make it 'no-so-clean'.  The lice can't stick to the hair as well if you have any of those products in the hair.  But it still isn't a fool-proof way of avoiding it.  Also, in my experience... I have found that lice are more attracted to light coloured hair rather than dark coloured hair.  Not sure if that is an actual fact... it's just been my experience.\n\nI tried all the tricks.... the mayo, the oil, etc etc.. none of it works... the only true way is to do what I've said.  And even then... say a few prayers.  Lice are not easy to get rid of at all.  \n\nAll I can say is thank goodness my girls are teenagers now and I don't have to worry about them getting it from school or daycare anymore.  What a pain.  Good luck to you.

I know of nothing. Most people use a fine tooth comb to remove the eggs.  When we were girls with long hair, my Mom would sit us in front of a bright window and manually slide each nit from each shaft of hair(the best method).  It hurts no matter what method you use. You are pulling and tugging on a strand of hair. I did the same with my daughters when they brought lice home from pre-school.  \n\nYou should repeat the lice shampoo 2 weeks after wards and recheck the head.  You will have phantom itching for years.\n\nYou have to be super clean with all your linens.  You have to wash all your bedding in HOT water and soap, and all your towels(I boiled mine).  Vacuum all your upholstered furniture. Clean, or throw away all hats. \n\nSome people from third world countries just shave the heads of the victim.  I'm sure you've seen pretty little girls in dresses with no hair.  Such a shame.  Trauma for the child, I'm sure.

Tea Tree Oil is the best solution. I worked in a hair salon and we were not allowed to work on anyone with head lice. I would tell people to go to the health store and purchase a bottle of tea tree oil and put a cap full of it in whatever bottle of shampoo they chose and also in their conditioner. you can also put it in a spray bottle. It smells very strong but I never had trouble again when I discovered this.Customers would return after using this product and be so grateful and amazed.

Most likely booklice (don't worry, they are not really lice).\n\nhttp://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/2000/2080.html\n\nhttp://www.ext.vt.edu/departments/entomology/factsheets/booklice.html\n\nhttp://insects.tamu.edu/extension/bulletins/uc/uc-010.html\n\n.

There is no "worse" it's like pregnant either you are or your not.  If you have lice you need to treat them.

No, hair color or hairspray cannot keep you from getting head lice. To prevent it, keep your hats, combs, brushes, barettes, pony tail ties, and head bands (all hair related items) to yourself...do not share them with anybody. Lice is a bug that attaches itself to the shaft of the hair. You have to use special shampoos and a special comb to get rid of it. You also have to clean all your bedding, clothing and hair items to make sure that there is no lice on them.\n\nGetting head lice does NOT mean that you are dirty, as some people think.

some friends of mine told me that they washed their kids hair with it once a week,to keep them from catching head lice at school,they said their doctor told them to do it!so maybe it does!

Yes you can get scabies again if you come in contact with someone or something that is infested.

Yes, it is possible to have both. Permetrin should get rid of lice & scabies, however...you may still have a problem with itching for up to three weeks after you are NO longer infested. Make sure your clothes and bedding are clean so that you do not reinfest yourself.  Make sure the person you were having close contact with has also been treated.  I would wonder where that person contacted their pubic/body lice.  There are several anti-itch creams you can buy OTC.  Using them might help you at night especially when you are trying to sleep.  I would say one of two things is happening....you are possibly no longer infected, but are still itching (may go on for 2-3 weeks), or you are reinfesting cause you are not using clean bedding every night/clean clothes every day...or your partner is still infected.

You May NOT have lice!  You may have something entirely different.  Are you itching anywhere else?  Do you see signs of other "bugs"? I urge you to e-mail me as even if you do have lice you do not have to use the over promoted chemical cocktails sold in pharmacies.  Many times if it is lice, it is easily treated with a natural product called Melaleuca Oil.  Melaleuca Oil kills staph, step, bacteria, e-coli, parasites (aka lice and scabies), fungus and candida (or yeast).\n\nLet me know if you see any lesions or other signs other than the itching scalp.  I would never recommend puttinig poison on your scalp or any other part of  your body.  \n\nUsed successfully for a number of things over the yerars.\n\nI had what I THOUGHT was lice, but was something much more serious.\n\nGood Luck and Be Well.

It sounds like crabs to me. I found this description at myDNA.com:\n\nCrab Lice \n  \nCrabs, or pubic lice, are tiny, barely visible parasites (scientific name Pthirus pubis) that live in the pubic area and cause itching. ("Lice" is plural; the singular is "louse"). Pubic lice are commonly called crabs because they are shorter and rounder than head lice and body lice, making them resemble crabs. They are usually found in the pubic hair, but can also be found in other body areas with short hair (eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits, mustache).Pubic LouseCopyright © 2005 Nucleus Communications, Inc.

Head lice is pretty well common everywhere.  \n\nHave had it in NY too, as a kid.  I am so suprised people would have it for months at a time though.  We had a real struggle when my daughter was in 1st grade- she got them and so did I!  (As a single mom with no-one to go through my hair!)  Finally got rid of them but she kept getting re-infested at school. \n\nMaybe the heat down there helps the bugs, not sure.  Hope you don't have any problems with them.  *scratches head- THANKS!  :-)

It's highly unlikely that it'd kill them. Lice are amazingly hardy and will survive pretty much anything.\n\n\nYou should definitely just go to a pharmacy and ask for a shampoo to treat lice.

You can  buy a billion different NIX bottles and they probably still won't die. I had lice as a kid and it was NASTY! What you need to do is sufficate them. Try covering your head with Thick conditioner. It doesn't have to be expensive. (VO5, suave) Completely cover the roots and tips so there is no air around your hair. \n\nWrap your head in something to keep the conditioner from getting everywhere.. Usually a shower cap or a plastic bag. Do this in the late afternoon and sleep with it on your head. They can't hold their breathe for that long! (12 hours tops) When you take a shower the next day, you will find a TON of dead lice eggs and bugs in your shower. Those who don't fall out... can be combed out. They will fall out easier because of the conditioner. Plus, it's great moisturization for your hair. No chemicals at all, and it costs under five dollars.  :) Good luck!

Use a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil in it - always...\nThis should reduce risk if re-infestation.\nWhen head lice are found, it's important that everyone in the household decontaminates at the same time - it doesn't work if one of you leaves it till next week!
