Learn More »Headlice is a very common annoyance but it is not a dangerous condition and lice do not spread disease. Lice are tiny insects that lives on hair and feed on very small amounts of blood. When the lice feed, the small bites can cause itching and irritation on the scalp and your child may develop sores that sometimes even become infected from scratching. Sometimes, the first signs are itching and rash on the scalp, the back of the neck or behind the ears. If you look more closely, you may be able to see the lice crawling on the scalp or the nits (eggs) that are cemented onto the hair. The nits may look like small grains of sand or pieces of dandruff but they cannot be moved easily off of the hair where they are attached. They are typically found fairly close to the scalp on the hair shaft. Lice do not discriminate and any close contact between heads or clothing items from an infected person can be enough to transmit the lice. Lice are not a sign of being dirty or poor hygiene. There are several treatments to treat lice. Some are medicated and may kill just the lice or the lice and the nits. Any treatment you choose requires that you also comb through your child’s hair and remove any nits that you find so that they do not have the chance to hatch and reinfect your child. They can be removed with a lice comb which has very fine teeth, or they can be picked off by hand but this may take longer and be more difficult. The best way is to use a conditioner/cream to moisten and slick the hair so that the lice are immobilized and you will have an easier time getting the comb through the hair. Older methods of “suffocating” the lice with Vaseline, mayonnaise or olive oil have not been proven to be effective to kill the lice and are difficult to remove from hair once used. Management of the home can also help to prevent reinfestation. Wash any and all clothing/jackets/scarves/hats as well as bed linens that have been worn in the last few days in hot water and then the run them through the dryer on a hot setting for a minimum of 20-30minutes. Any items that cannot be run through the washer/dryer should be put in plastic bags and tied off for 3-5 days. The lice require a blood meal every few days and cannot survive on non-human items for more than a few days. Vacuuming carpets, sofas, chairs and car seat covers/car upholstery where your child sits can also decrease the risk of reinfection. Any hair care items should also be soaked in rubbing alcohol or medicated shampoo for an hour or more and then rinse thoroughly. Treatment options: Remember to only use one remedy at a time and if you are not successful, you may need to try a different remedy as some lice can develop resistance to some treatments.

Follow the package instructions for treatment but then continue to “nit pick” every morning and evening for the 2 weeks before the second application and again for another week after the second application. This way, the treatment will kill any of the lice and there will be no opportunity for the nits to hatch if they are all removed. Any that happened to hatch during the time between treatments are killed during the second application and in the meantime the remaining nits will be removed, thus breaking the cycle.

The vinegar helps to loosen the nits. 13. Check daily for live lice and nits. Remove nits immediately. Retreat with Cetaphil if you see live lice or contact your pediatrician for advice. 14. Repeat this treatment after seven days and again seven days after that to kill any newly hatched lice before they become adults and lay eggs. This is a crucial step to break the lice life cycle. Other Non-Pesticide Methods: There are many other over the counter remedies for head lice (Lice MD). Some have a high salt concentration which dries out and kills both the lice and the nits but we would still recommend nit picking every morning and evening for 2 weeks and then retreating. There are also alcohol based treatments which also kill lice and nits but these are flammable—do NOT use with a hairdryer!
