Dcb may have head lice?

Once you have washed everything once you are safe in checking heads upon arrival. A week to 10 days usually as they suggest doing a second hair treatment 7-10 days after the first one which for most families means the closest weekend after the first treatment was done.

We have been through 12 months of having lice in our house off and on and so, I have educated myself on these persistent little critters. First, the shampoo. With pesticide will only kill and live lice, not nits. Shampoo alone will not get rid of lice. Second, the new breed of lice that infects us is resistance to the pesticides in lice killing shampoo. The only way you will get rid of lice is to invest in a good metal tooth comb (there is one on the market called Licemeister) and comb the hair every single day for the first three weeks. You will be shocked by how many combing sit takes to get every little bit out. The eggs are laid millimeters from the scalp an are almost impossible to comb out, but as the hair grows they become more visible and easier to remove. Use conditioner or olive oil on the child's hair to ease the nits out - this also very temporarily slows down any live lice making it easier to catch them with the comb. All members of the family should be checked and treatedwith daily combing. If you or your clients don't stay on top of this the lice will come back.
Next, wash all bedding, towels, etc and dry on high temp (the high temperature is what kills them). Vacuum any upolstry an carpets thoroughly. If a nit or live lice is on there and attaches itself to a scalp, you have another infestation. Bag all stuffed animals etc that can't be put in the dryer for 2 weeks.
Pass this information to your clients and tell all Of your clients that their child may have come into contact with headline and they must be checked daily to prevent an infestation. Tell them that you will also be checking the children at daycare and if you find anything they will be required to pick up immediately. Good luck!
