Treatment For Lice FAQ in Olympia, WA

Why is lice such a big deal?

Head lice are annoying, but they’re not dangerous and they don’t spread disease. They’re not a sign of poor hygiene — head lice need blood and they don’t care whether it’s from someone who’s clean or dirty. It’s best to treat head lice right away to prevent them from spreading.

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.

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.

Can lice go away without treating it?

You Have to Treat Them Head lice will not go away on their own. If you think your child has an infestation, there are several steps you should take right away. Call your doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Notify your child’s day care or school so other students can be checked.

What is the best treatment for lice?

Permethrin lotion 1% is approved by the FDA for the treatment of head lice. Permethrin is safe and effective when used as directed. Permethrin kills live lice but not unhatched eggs. Permethrin may continue to kill newly hatched lice for several days after treatment.

What do nits look like on paper towel?

If you see sesame-seed-shaped objects, those are the nits and lice, which can be brown or grey and stand out against the white paper towel. “The nits may look like they have tails that stick out the back,” says Faulkner.

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.

Should I throw away pillows after lice?

Step 1- Wash Bedding Remove all bedding. This includes mattress covers, pillows, pillowcases and even stuffed animals that could have come into contact with head lice or nits, eggs. Large items can be taken to a laundry mat to be washed. Or, they can be stuffed into large garbage bags and left for 72 hours.

Where do lice come from before humans?

Although there is a very slight possibility that you could get lice from an inanimate object, such as a brush or a pillow case, almost all cases of head lice occur through direct head to head contact with someone who is infested.
