Head Lice Treatment Tips


Overview


Recent reports from the Centers for Disease Control highlight that some head lice are developing resistance to certain shampoos. While this sounds like a parent’s nightmare, pyrethrin shampoos remain a highly effective solution.

Understanding Head Lice


Head lice are resilient pests that have plagued humans for centuries. They spread easily through direct head-to-head contact and by sharing personal items like combs, hats, or even pillows and upholstered furniture. Maintaining a clean environment is crucial in managing an infestation, so regularly vacuum areas where the infected individual sits during treatment.

Communication and Precautions


If your child is affected, inform their school and playmates promptly to prevent further spread. For children under two, consult your pediatrician, as pyrethrin shampoos are typically not suitable for this age group.

Treatment Steps


1. Use Specialized Shampoo:
- Choose a shampoo designed to kill head lice and follow the directions carefully.
- Consider hair length and thickness for adequate coverage.
- Repeat the treatment after a week to target any newly hatched lice that may have survived the first application.

2. Nit Comb:
- Employ a nit comb with tightly spaced teeth to remove dead or dying lice and monitor treatment progress.

3. Cleaning and Hygiene:
- Wash clothing and bedding daily in hot water.
- Dry clean or wash any hats, scarves, or items in contact with the infested individual.

Persistent vigilance and thoroughness in following these steps can effectively manage and eliminate head lice. Stay proactive in communication and hygiene to safeguard against re-infestation.
