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.

Do lice multiply quickly?

Lice are tiny insects that live in hair, bite, and can multiply quickly, laying up to 10 eggs a day. And lice don’t discriminate! Anyone can get lice, regardless of age, social status, race or gender. Luckily, lice don’t spread disease contrary to popular misconception, but they do itch!

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.

How long do lice last on pillows?

As head lice can live on pillows, you’ll need to clean them. Adult lice can only survive for two days without a host. However, they can still lay eggs. If the infected person has had a lice treatment and then picks up stray lice from their pillow, the lice infestation cycle can start all over again.

What causes head lice?

Head-to-head contact with an already infested person is the most common way to get head lice. Head-to-head contact is common during play at school, at home, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp). Although uncommon, head lice can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings.

What gets rid of lice the fastest?

Ivermectin (Sklice). This lotion kills most head lice, even just-hatched lice, with just one use. You don’t need to comb out lice eggs (nits). Children ages 6 months and older can use this product.

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 can’t you use conditioner after lice treatment?

First, wash the hair with a regular shampoo. Then, towel dry it before using the anti-lice creme. Do not use a conditioner or creme rinse after shampooing. Reason: It will interfere with Nix.
