Lice Specialists FAQ in Janesville, WI

How long can lice live on a hairbrush?

Adult lice can’t live longer than 24 hours or so on nonhuman surfaces like carpets, hardwood floors, clothing, furniture, sports helmets, headphones, or hair accessories. However, if you have identified lice in your home, isolate and wash those items and areas within at least 72 hours.

Is head lice caused by poor hygiene?

Head lice most often affect children. The insects usually spread through direct transfer from the hair of one person to the hair of another. Having head lice isn’t a sign of poor personal hygiene or an unclean living environment. Head lice don’t carry bacterial or viral diseases.

What soap kills lice?

If you’ve tried over the counter lice treatments recently and feel it’s not effective, try alternative methods: Apply mineral or olive oil to hair, leave on 30 minutes, wash out with Dawn dish soap. Apply white vinegar, leave on 30 minutes, rinse out.

Is it better to comb lice out of wet or dry hair?

Make sure hair stays wet with conditioner during combing. Metal or plastic nit combs are available at your local pharmacy. If the comb tugs the hair, use a wide toothed comb first and more conditioner, then try the nit comb again.

Is rubbing alcohol good for lice?

However, rubbing alcohol is not an FDA-approved treatment for head lice. Nor has it been proven to have any effect on head lice. One of the most common uses of rubbing alcohol is as a disinfectant. It’s often used in the medical field to sterilize surgical tools, and clean skin before injections or blood draws.

Should I go to work if I have lice?

If you have live lice in your hair, then that’s easy to transmit to others. If you don’t and you just have the nits or the eggs, it’s okay to be around others. So it’s not going to pass on. You can go back to school, you can go back to work.

How do you stop nits from hatching?

The only way to prevent them from hatching would be to remove them with a good metal nit comb, or your fingernails. Nits are laid by the mother and attached with a glue she formulates, to sit on the hair shaft in the perfect spot to incubate and hatch.

Can lice survive a hair dryer?
