Yes, as a former teacher, I had to check my students weekly for signs of lice. The comb does not get rid of the lice; it only gets rid of the DEAD eggs that are attached to the hair shank. Eggs that are still alive will not pull off; they are "glued" on and need to be killed by a product made for this purpose. But combing out the "nits" is important because if you see them (like little grains of salt) then you will think the person still is infected.

I had that p[problem when I was a child, I had them twice, once from a kid at school, another time from my mom. The comb actually works, because it combs out the eggs, but you also need the chemical to kill the already hatched lice. I know they suck, itches like a firehouse. The first time I just shaved off all of my hair the second time I used Rid. Don't worry it will get rid of it.

the comb is to get the nits or eggs off the hairshaft. You must use some kind of lice ridding shampoo to actually get rid of the lice

I dealt with lice many years in the past. i imagine my neice and youngest daughter were given it from sharing softball helmets. We used the Nix shampoo medical care and concept we were ok, even if it got here lower back. Plus, we washed each and every thing lets in warm water used a lice spray on our furnishings, vacuumed throughly or perhaps positioned all her filled animals in tightly sealed garbage bags on the porch. it isn't secure to apply the lice shampoos better than once on a mushy baby because they're easily a poison. Plus, you choose to spotlight eliminating the nits (eggs) so new ones do not hatch and maximum anti-lice shampoos do not kill the nits. Our maximum useful medical care develop right into a everyday head verify making use of a lice comb. that is rather tedious, yet our Pediatrician even stated it is the thanks to remove them. because my hair is likewise lengthy I were given the lice too and it helped us to coat our heads in vaseline and wrap it in one day. That supposedly smothers the lice plus circumstances your scalp in the technique! i have heard mayonnaise and olive oil are useful also. We finally eliminated them and your daughter-n-regulation can too as long as she is diligent on a everyday foundation. i wish this helps!

About six years ago my sisters and I traveled in one week on a boat, airplane, train, and stayed in 4 hotels. Somewhere along the way we picked up those nasty bugs!! My reccomendation... go straigt to your doctor for a Prescription instead of over the counter. And follow your doc's directions for hte household procedures (washing, and sealing certain items for I think up to 3 weeks) If that doesnt work--- slap[ vaseline over your scalp in conjunction with the PX medicene, and comb out all the eggs and bugs. The vaseline smothers and kills the bugs as well as the PX killing the remaining eggs.
