Lice Specialists FAQ in Puyallup, WA

Do electric lice combs work?

Technically yes, a lice comb can be a complete lice treatment on its own, but it depends entirely on the person using it. If hair is treated with a good electric head lice comb and perfect precision, every louse and nit could be combed out and the lice effectively treated.

Are lice good for anything?

Parasites such as lice have a role in the conditioning of a ‘natural’ immune system and reducing the likelihood of immune dysfunctions, a study of mice from a Nottinghamshire forest indicates.

Can hairdressers help with lice?

Professional technicians are mobile and skilled at removing even the tiniest of eggs, eliminating a case of head lice in just one appointment. This ensures you can walk into your appointment with full confidence. In fact, unless you tell them, your cosmetologist will not even know you ever had a case of head lice.

Do you have to stay home if you have lice?

Students diagnosed with live head lice do not need to be sent home early from school; they can go home at the end of the day, be treated, and return to class after appropriate treatment has begun. Nits may persist after treatment, but successful treatment should kill crawling lice.

How do I clean my house after lice?

Wash items on a hot water cycle and dry on high heat for at least twenty minutes. The heated wash and dry will remove and kill any lice left. Carpets, mattresses, and flooring can simply be vacuumed and cleaned with everyday cleaning products.

Does shaving get rid of lice?

Shaving Will Not Get Rid of Lice. The reason shaving will not work is because lice live on the base of the hair, and on the scalp. The nits are laid right at the base of the hair oftentimes against the scalp. Shaving will not get close enough to make an impact on the lice and nits.

Can lice survive the washing machine?

Either washing done with a water temperature of at least 50 degrees C or drying is necessary to kill head lice and nits.

Why does head lice keep coming back?

Head lice keep recurring when eggs are missed and left in the hair. Those missed eggs then hatch and you find head lice again. Removing all the eggs is key to stopping head lie recurring. The eggs are tiny and glued firmly onto the hair.

How do you tell how long you’ve had lice?

Infestation timeline So if you look on the scalp and see no visible adult lice and several small nits, it’s likely that you’ve caught lice in the earlier stages and had them for less than 2 weeks. Nits and nymphs: 1.5 to 2 weeks. If you see nits and small, moving lice, you’ve likely had lice for 1.5 to 2 weeks.

What happens if lice infestation goes untreated?

If you’re infested with body lice for a long time, you may experience skin changes such as thickening and discoloration — particularly around your waist, groin or upper thighs. Spread of disease. Body lice can carry and spread some bacterial diseases, such as typhus, relapsing fever or trench fever.
