Removing Head Lice

my daughter went through a bad patch at school with head lice.once all treatment has been done (buy the way you can get natural products to rid them now)i usually have a mixture of tea tree oil and lavender oil.which i put on hair brush and brush her hair daily.this seems to keep them away.as i found that the trasfer of lice was always from school hats,there is a special band that has something in it that you put in their hats that kills them off.i purchased mine from hairdresser.i don't know where you live but check with your hairdresser's as they have all sorts of gear for lice.hope this helps

ohh goodness, lies are contagious. if you will not fix the problem everyone in the house will have. i have four children and once one them has it then they will all have it. whats so disgusting is i myself got lice. here in the philippines there is a shampoo that is called KWEL. it is good but we need to be extra careful because it is very painful in the eyes. i think your friends need to take the action to use any available products you have there in your country. one more thing when i was in my teens my cousin emy got a lot of lice and it ended up cutting her hair oh i mean bald, for the lice created a lot of wounds on her scalp. maybe due to scratching because it was itchy. it was really nasty. i hope that wont happen to her child.

I havent ever had to deal with lice and I hope I never have to. I just found out the other day one of the kids I sit for has it. She only comes over once a week. The dad came to get her brother and told me she has lice. I was like ok so bring her in my house with all the other children!! Hello?!! I have two boys and I watch 3 more. So lets bring the lice to my house! Dumb A**!!! I told him that untill it goes away she or her brother ar NOT allowed her. The mom got kinda mad at me but to bad. I cant have my kids and the other kids getting it. One is only 9 months! I just cant believe there stupid enought to think I would still let them come to my house!

There are many products on the market that kill adult head lice but the adults are the easiest to kill. The newly hatched nymphs are much harder to kill and there is nothing on the market at the moment that kills nits. I recommend a safe non toxic treatment product and a good lice comb or you can contact Lice Solutions to learn more about lice and safe , effective treatment options. Lice Solutions is a non profit 501(c)3 head lice treatment organization with 2 locations- Nashville, TN and West Palm Beach, FL. They see hundreds of cases of head lice each week!! Your right about the schools. Head lice is the number one reason for absenteeism across the country but it need not be. There is help out there. Visit www.licesolutions.org

Hi, all right? When I was younger I used shampoo the lice and their eggs, I also passed, the comb fine and I have heard people talk about that all took up the head. If you can on my message and leaves ypour name is Two Lifes. Thanks.

I guess one can get another to remove them "manually"? At least this is what I think the older folks do. Or try visiting a doctor. I am sure they have some suitable methods to recommend and/or implement. Check out http://www.kidshealth.org/parent/infections/common/lice.html for instance. I think usually a medicated shampoo, cream, or lotion is used to kill the lice. After the head lice are removed, I would recommend prevention measures. From the site: * Tell your child to try to avoid head-to-head contact at school (in gym, on the playground, or during sports) and while playing at home with other children. * Tell your child not to share combs, brushes, hats, scarves, bandanas, ribbons, barrettes, hair ties or bands, towels, helmets, or other personal care items with anyone else, whether they may have lice or not. * Tell your child not to lie on bedding, pillows, and carpets that have recently been used by someone with lice. * Examine members of your household who have had close contact with a person who has lice every 3 or 4 days. Then, treat those who are found to have lice or nits close to the scalp.

Last week a woman came into the store and was dealing with this problem. She had waist length hair as does her daughter. They had tried all the products on the market. Nothing worked. The school nurse advice her to try WD 40. I cringed thinking this would burn the scalp. well it worked like a charm. also there is prescription products. Maybe it would be helpful to call the pediatrician

How funny to find this discussion, as I just was talking about it in another! I have really long, thick hair, my daughter does too. Well, so does my son have thick hair, but his head we just shaved. Problem solved! Obviously my daughter and I didn't want to shave our heads, so we got all the chemical poison stuff and doused our heads in it again and again, but just couldn't get rid of them. I mentioned to my daughter's teacher the problem we were having and she told me that a blow-dryer would kill them. I used a blow-dryer every day for a week, or it might have even been a month... I was that determined to get rid of every last one of those little suckers and all their eggs! And it worked! We never had to worry about lice again.
