Avatar f tn I treat my daughters head every 3 months with mayo.
Avatar n tn It is an electronic lice comb that zaps the little boogers and kills them instantly on contact, and it gets even the tiniest ones. It doesn't kill the eggs, but if you use it for a couple of weeks you will be lice free, and without all of those crazy chemicals. It was a lifesaver, and I got it at CVS for about $40. Well worth it and perfect for treating your own head! Good Luck!
Avatar f tn I vacuumed like crazy, put all stuffed animals in plastic bags and threw them out in the garage, washed bedding like crazy and dried bedding in hot dryer. Heat kills lice. Vinegar rinse helps on the hair, along with a natural lice shampoo (no pesticides), combing through the hair, and blow drying the hair. You have to vacuum the house in all corners. The brown/blackish lice are adult lice. Lice starts out being clear and gain color from biting.
Avatar f tn You can get rid of her lice by putting lice treatment in her hair and putting mayo in it to get the eggs out or straighten her hair a lot it will burn them to death
Avatar f tn My daughter and I have head lice. We bought the shampoo and sprayed and washed everything. I do not want he'd lice in our hair once I have my son next Thursday. Any ideas for at home remedies??? Please help!!!
Avatar f tn Lice can become resistant to lice treatments like nix. I don't think you can use them on such a young child though. My siblings and I once had a really bad case of them once and my mom got rid of them but putting mayo on our head for 24 hours. She put mayo on them, then a plastic bag around our hair (make sure it's tight so your daughter won't try to put it over her face), then she took a hair dryer to it for about an hour.
Avatar n tn This situation is becoming very desprate for me, the lice have also spread to a private part of my body (not crabs, it is lice) nothing kills the lice I use tea oil that heals a little with the personal area but that hurts. Store brands and perspriction does not work. Please if you have information on this subject or have heard of any one dealing with it and getting over it would you please send me information.
Avatar f tn they say lice cant live once they have left the head but they do,i personally would wash everything all the time til you are lice free,just comb through your hair everyday,so that you dont give the eggs they lay chance to hatch
Avatar m tn s a place in my town called Lice to Know You I think, a salon that specializes in combing treatments to get people lice free. Anything like that where you live?
Avatar f tn The best way to get rid of lice is when you use the shampoo, you have to use it again in 7 days because the shampoo dose not always kill the eggs and they hatch about every seven days . And you have to use the lice comb every day to get the left eggs out. And put your bedding and pillow cases on a boiled wash cause they can rub off in the night. And throw away all your bobbles and headbands and brushes.
Avatar f tn If a kid has lice, an adult will need to buy a special medicated shampoo, cream, or lotion that kills lice. An adult will need to apply the medicine and follow the directions. Part of the treatment is combing your hair with a fine-tooth comb to remove the nits. The shampoo, cream, or lotion usually kills the lice right away. The itching should go away within a few days, but treatment may need to be repeated in 7 to 10 days to kill any new lice that may have hatched since the first treatment.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever found one louse on a head and not found any eggs, nits or lice. I found an adult louse in my hair Monday when doing my weekly check with my Robi comb. I proceeded to do 2 full comb outs each on my two children. Using a metal nit exterminator comb, licekiller brand products and hours of meticulous combing. I found nothing. No eggs, no lice. Next day my friend did the same comb out of my hair. (took 6 hours, My hair is shoulder length) and found nothing.
Avatar f tn Try this. Use the regular stuff that kills lice at the pharmacy BUT afterwards, put white vinegar in your hair and massage your hair and then shampoo your hair with shampoo and use a lot of conditioner. Do this for at least a week. The white vinegar doesn't kill adult lice but it dissolves the nit glue that holds the eggs that hatch out later. Also conditioner helps keep your hair slick and hard for lice to have anything to hold onto as well.
Avatar f tn But your eyelashes and face could be dry and itchy do to dander or dust mites that the lice may have carried . My cousin who had lice alot used to pull her eyelashes out because it was so itchy and the problem was cause by a type of mite. It's really common . Hope this helps ! Don't be afraid to talk to someone about how to take care of the pubic area . All areas need to be free of the lice or else you will keep getting head lice as well.
Avatar f tn My mom used to use a laundry sope the one with thr baby blue bag and the baby seal in the front wen my cousen gave my whole family lice it workes kills them but u also have to comb it out eith that comb every one mentioned
Avatar m tn Hi Vanessa, thankyou for your reply. No other symptoms that I can clearly think of. I was thinking after my earlier message and it's almost like a prickle heat, it isn't specifically itchy, I do not feel a need to scratch and scratch, I more so want to adjust my clothes to reposition them. Definitely influenced by my clothing, if I wear jocks the area where the elastic sits in the groove with my upper leg and groin is more sensitive to the symptoms.
Avatar f tn They sell this awesome lice comb at walgreens that you comb through the roots of the hair and it zaps the lice and kills them on the spot. It cost $20 plus batteries but it is so much easier than anything ive ever used before and after the first time doing it do it 2-3 times a week for to weeks to kill anything that may have hatched and they will be gone takes 5- 10 mins to do a whole head.
Avatar f tn So I work at a daycare && I got head lice from one of the students Im 19 Weeks pregnant does anyone know what I can use to clean my hair????
Avatar f tn I recently got head lice, so I no longer use my gym locker, I just put my clothes in NY bag. If it is pubic lice, could it also live on my scalp? Could the lice have moved from my pubic region to my head? It isn't on my head anymore, but I have not told anyone was out the itching down there. There are no red marks or signs of the lice down there besides what I think night have been a possible egg. I would love any help. How should I ask my parents? I am also 13.
Avatar f tn So my mom has custody of my niece and nephew because my sister was in a terrible motorcycle accident. This is the second time my niece has came home from school with lice and i found a nit in my hair. does anyone know anything that works good for both my niece and i?
Avatar n tn They sell an electric comb that kills the Lice on the spot when you comb your hair and it catches the eggs. I would say use vinegar forest and then use the comb a few times they your hair for a couple of days. It worked perfect for my sister and it contains no chemicals so it's wouldn't harm the baby.
1503849 tn?1289500304 My 7 year old daughter beth came home from school with a letter from her teacher stating beth had lice. I ran to the nearest pharmacy to see what can help me but they only had Toxic OTC products that i would never put in my kid or anyone elses kid in a million years. My friends told me about this "All Natural Lice Removal" from a woman named Dalya Harel CEO of http://licebustersnyc.com/. what do you think i should do guys?
Avatar m tn Nair even works for body lice in armpits. The lye kills the little feckers in the follicle in which they burrow, for and for all other survivors by removing the entire hair from its root, thus dragging out the live ones and flushing em down. Nair - my body's creamy crack! Never fails.
Avatar f tn going on to where its like prickles of heat on my entire head that I swear is lice running a marathon. My friends older two boys didn't get it and neither did she and she shares a bed with the girl. If they didn't get it how the heck did I?!?! A lice expert told me that not everyone that comes in contact with it gets it. I can't handle being one of those people that has piles of bugs falling out of their hair. My gf gave me a hug and if I have it she has it :( She has eczema bad!
Avatar m tn They will rehatch within 5 days causing all your efforts to again have been in vain. The 2nd retreat on day 4 kills all the eggs and lice that the first one does not, before they have a chance to rehatch and start a new infestation. I recommend retreating the home especially where she sits car seat, couch, recliner, play pen, carpet, mattress, etc. with a spray that is designed to kill lice. Ensure the areas have dried before anyone sits on the items.
Avatar f tn For about 3 weeks now my head, neck, and ears have been itching really badly. There was some kind of bug in my hair that I found today but I hadn't found any bugs before and I worked outside today. The bug was a darkish color. I didn't really get a good look of it because as soon as I saw it was a a bug I hurried up and threw it in the garbage can. I think it might be lice but I'm not sure. Does anyone know what it is?
