HEAD LICE REMINDER: Parents, please be on the lookout for signs and symptoms indicating that your child has contracted head lice. The most common symptom is intense itching on the back of the neck and head. If you observe your child scratching excessively in this area, check his/her head for nits and lice.
1. Watch for signs of head lice, such as frequent head scratching. Anyone can get head
lice...mainly by head-to-head contact but also from sharing hats, brushes, and headrests.
Lice do not jump or fly, they do crawl. Pets do not get head lice.
2. Check all family members for lice and nits (lice eggs) at least once a week. Only those
infested should be treated. Lice, which hatch from nits, are reddish-brown wingless small
insects that survive on human blood. They have 6 legs equipped with claws to grasp the hair.
They can live for as long as a month, laying five to nine eggs a day. Nits are grayish-
white, always oval shaped and are glued at an angle to the side of the hair shaft. Nits will
not wash off or flake off. Lice hatch, from nits, in about 1 week and are fully mature in 9-
12 days.
3. Be sure not to confuse nits with hair debris such as bright white irregularly-shaped clumps
of dandruff stuck to the hair shaft or elongated segments of dandruff encircling the hair
shaft and easily dislodged. Lice treatment is not appropriate for hair debris.
4. Consult your pharmacist or physician before applying or using lice treatment pesticides when
the person involved is pregnant, nursing, has allergies, asthma, epilepsy, pre-existing
medical conditions, or has lice or nits in the eyebrows or eyelashes. Never use a pesticide
on or near the eyes.
5. There are several over the counter shampoos that are effective. Nix Cream Rinse is very
effective and leaves a protective residue on the hair to help prevent re-infestation, however
it takes 12-24 hours to kill the lice. Remember, all lice-killing products are pesticides.
Follow package directions carefully and with caution. Be sure to use the suggested amount
which is usually one bottle per person. Use the product over the sink, not in the tub or
shower. Always keep the eyes covered. Manual removal is the best alternative whenever
possible and especially when treatment products have failed. It is important to comb out all
of the nits. No lice treatment can guarantee success with a single application. Read the
directions to see when a second application is recommended. If these treatments fail call
your physician and ask for alternatives.
6. Remove all nits. This assures total lice treatment. Separate hair in sections and remove
all attached nits with a lice comb, by pulling them off the hair shaft with your fingernails,
by cutting them out or by removing the shaft of hair that they are glued on to. Removing all
of the nits is the most important part of treatment.
7. Wash bedding, towels, and recently worn clothing (including hats and coats) in hot water and
dry in hot dryer. Combs and brushes may be soaked in hot water for 10 minutes or overnight
in a solution of 1/8 cup ammonia or bleach to four cups water. Lice can survive for up to 48
hours off the human scalp. Place all non-washable items such as pillows, dolls, and stuffed
animals in a plastic bag for 10-14 days, remove and shake out before allowing back in your
house.
8. Avoid lice sprays. Vacuuming is the safest and best way to remove lice or fallen hairs with
attached nits from upholstered furniture, mattresses, carpets, pillows, and car seats.
9. Notify your child’s school if you suspect or are sure that your child has lice. This allows
the school staff to be on the look out for other cases of lice and is a good chance for the
school to remind the other parents to be watching for signs of lice on their family members.
