Treatment For Lice FAQ in Saint Louis, MO

What is the best nit treatment?

Lice and nits can be removed by wet combing. You should try this method first. You can buy a special fine-toothed comb (detection comb) online or from pharmacies to remove head lice and nits.

How many lice are usually found on a head?

Typically, 10–15 head lice are found. The number of lice often depends on personal hygiene, for example, how often the person bathes, shampoos, or changes and washes his/her clothing.

How do you get rid of lice overnight?

Smothering agents: There are several common home products that may kill lice by depriving them of air and smothering them. These products include petroleum jelly (Vaseline), olive oil, butter, or mayonnaise. Any of these products may be applied to the scalp and hair, covered with a shower cap, and left on overnight.

Do lice multiply quickly?

Lice are tiny insects that live in hair, bite, and can multiply quickly, laying up to 10 eggs a day. And lice don’t discriminate! Anyone can get lice, regardless of age, social status, race or gender. Luckily, lice don’t spread disease contrary to popular misconception, but they do itch!

What product kills lice eggs?

Nix Ultra® kills lice and, unlike some lice treatments, kills eggs too, by suffocation. Nix Ultra® is specially designed to eliminate hard-to-kill Super Lice, which have developed resistance to many traditional lice treatments.

Can lice damage your head?

Head lice can’t spread disease, but they can make your scalp itchy. Frequent itching could break the skin on your scalp, which could lead to infections.

Why do I keep finding lice eggs but no lice?

It’s possible that the nits are leftover from a previous infestation and are no longer viable, which means they are dead and won’t hatch. It’s difficult to tell the difference, so you should still treat any nits you find, even if there are no lice.

Do I need to wash bedding everyday with lice?
