Head lice have unfortunately become a part of raising children today. Knowing how to identify and safely remove them as early as possible can minimize irritation to the scalp.
Marianne had a phone call she would never forget. Her daughter’s preschool called and asked her to pick up her child because she had lice.growing up and whose older daughter had sailed through childhood without the problem either, she was not too sure she’d find.
Any parent dealing with head lice can probably relate to this situation. These parasitic insects burrow deeply to the root of hair and suck the blood from people’s scalps. Female lice also attach sticky unhatched eggs called nits to hair. These eggs taketo hatch and can trigger another infestation if not removed, leaving children to have head lice several times a year.
Lice have no preference and don’t care about age or gender. It’s easier to burrow and conceal themselves in hair, so people with short hair are less prone to a lice infestation. If you still want to go the shampoo route, Fisher recommends seeing your child’s pediatrician to write a script for prescription shampoos containing stronger chemicals than the over-the-counter options.
Washing and combing out hair can be a time-consuming process, but they need to be done more than once. “Some people think it’s one and done, but it’s not always like that,” Fisher warned. You may have missed some nits, and if they hatch, you will need to start the process over again. She recommended following up with a second treatment one to two weeks later.
