Lice Specialists FAQ in Worcester, MA

Why does my daughter keep getting nits?

There are two reasons for a recurrent lice infestation: The lice treatment you used didn’t work. You or someone in your family came in contact with lice again.

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.

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 kind of Listerine kills lice?

We are pleased to hear that the amber Listerine worked so well to treat lice. We suspect it too works by suffocating them. The herbal oils in Listerine, such as eucalyptol, thymol, menthol and methyl salicylate, may also discourage lice.

What doctor do I see for lice?

If your child has head lice, a dermatologist can tell. A dermatologist can also recommend an effective treatment for your child. This may be one of the prescription treatments. Sometimes, simply combing your child’s hair to remove the lice and nits (eggs) can be effective.

Can you grab lice with your fingers?

Eggs and nits also stick to the hair shaft, so they don’t come off easily. If you try to pull one out of the hair with your fingers, it won’t budge—it will move only if you use your nails to get behind it and force it off.

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.

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.

What happens if lice doesn’t go away?

If a head lice treatment that you can buy without a prescription fails to work, the CDC recommends that you see a health care provider. Highly effective prescription treatments that you apply to the scalp are available.

How do I disinfect my house from 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.
