Treatment For Lice FAQ in Monterey, CA

Is lice caused by poor hygiene?

Head lice are not known to transmit disease; however, secondary bacterial infection of the skin resulting from scratching can occur with any lice infestation. Getting head lice is not related to cleanliness of the person or his or her environment.

Do lice hide in mattresses?

It’s important to note that head lice do not hide in mattresses during the day like bed bugs—they want to remain on the scalp of their hosts continuously. And lice can only crawl—no jumping or flying, which means they can only be contracted by direct contact.

Can lice stick to bed sheets?

Lice cannot “fall” on pillows, sheets, stuffed animals, and other bedding unless the hair that they are attached to fall. But they can’t live on these surfaces, or on hats, scarves, furniture, or carpet. They also can’t live on pets or any other animals. Nits can’t live without a human host.

How do I check for lice if I live alone?

Use fingers to separate hair and create a part. The part should allow you to clearly see the person’s scalp. Look for lice crawling on the scalp where the hair is parted or on the hair shaft. The lice will be dark in color and the size of a poppyseed.

What are head lice attracted to?

Lice are attracted to the blood they get through your scalp – short, long, clean or dirty. Doesn’t matter! You have to clean every crevice of your house after a lice infestation.

What happens if you don’t treat lice?

Untreated head lice may degrade the scalp and affects it health and that of the hair. If the follicles become blocked, then hair loss may occur. It is hard to have well-conditioned hair if it is covered in head lice eggs, lice and bacteria.

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.

Why can’t you use conditioner after lice treatment?

Do not use a conditioner. It can keep the lice medicine from working. Rinse well with warm water and towel dry. Do not use the towel again until it has been laundered.

Do lice go into ears?

You can find head lice on the scalp, neck, and ears.

What kills lice on bedding?

Machine wash and dry clothing, bed linens, and other items that the infested person wore or used during the 2 days before treatment using the hot water (130°F) laundry cycle and the high heat drying cycle. Clothing and items that are not washable can be dry–cleanedORsealed in a plastic bag and stored for 2 weeks.

How do you treat lice naturally?

Can you get rid of lice in 3 days?

Or you can put them in a tightly-sealed plastic bag for 3 days (Picture 1). Any nits or lice on these things will die in 2 days. Check the hair and scalp of all family members every 2 to 3 days by combing the hair until no live lice are found for 10 days.
