Answer 1

Kill Lice By Shrink-Wrapping Them

Q. I heard a radio program about an over-the-counter product that can be put on the hair, then dried with a hair dryer. The result is a sort of shrink-wrap effect that kills head lice. Do you know what this product is?

A. Look for Cetaphil facial cleanser in your pharmacy. Coat the hair with Cetaphil and leave it on the scalp for two minutes. As you blow-dry the hair, the Cetaphil will harden and suffocate the lice. Rinse the Cetaphil off after eight hours.

I would spray everything with Raid. Raid has the same ingredients that Ridd has, just sounds a lot worse.

Answer 2

If you have had this problem for ten years, you really should see a doctor and make sure it is lice and that you don't have another problem.

Also, it has been discovered recently that a few strains of lice don't seem to be affected by regular treatments.

There are three types lice that affect humans:
Pediculosis humanus capitis (head lice)
Pediculosis humanus corporis (body lice)
Phthirus pubis (pubic lice)

What I'd suggest:
1) TREAT YOUR WHOLE BODY for Head Lice AND Body Lice. Use a comb to remove the nits (eggs/babies) from your hair... if you have long hair, this is a BIG JOB. With any lice shampoo, you should repeat the treatment as sometimes it will kill the lice and not all the nits. I think you should repeat it after about 7 to 10 days, and if you've had it this long, you should repeate it again!

2) You need to wash ALL bedding, pillows, hats, headbands, clothing, combs, brushes, etc. ALL OF IT! Wash it in hot soapy water... they make special soaps for this purpose. Soak you combs and brushes in amonia or bleach. If you have had lice this long, you need to sterilize everything you touch on a daily basis, including your carseats ... EVERYTHING. If you live in a cold place, put stuff outside or in a cold garage so it can freeze solid for a few days, and then wash it in hot soapy water, too.

3) Every person in your household needs to be treated, (and although human head lice is not spread to dogs or cats, you should treat them as well, just to make sure they are not carrying any lice from you that might jump back).

4) They make pesticide that you sprinkle on the carpet for fleas... I assume that they make stuff like that for lice, too. Do it. A "bug bomb" (comes in a can that you set out in the middle of the room and it sprays and you leave) might be the answer, too... they tell you how many cubic feet they treat, and you have to leave the house for a few yours.

You say when your boyfriend comes back "in like a year" ... is he in the military??? Someone on base may have some good treatments.

When you do this, you need to be thorough!

Answer 3

First of all you need to go to the doctor if you have had it that long and you have tried every overt the counter drug ! You have to treat you hair first and anyone in your house hair has be treated and then you have to treat it again in two more weeks. Make sure you buy the special combs to get the eggs or nits out. All of this can be bought over the counter at Walmarts, because the cost is a little less there. If you have children you have to keep a eye on there heads because they hug people and share hats which is a no no when this stuff is in the schools and some kids don't know they have it. Look in there heads before you put you hair near there's is sounds cold but better to be safe than to go through this. WASH IN HOT OR WARM WATER All of your pillows, bed linens, blanket shams, pillow cases, stuffed animals ( wash in pillow case ) spray your furniture if you lay in the floor fumigate your carpet or rugs. Any thing your hair comes in contact with, hair accessories, your clothes, your caps, jackets,coats and your combs or brushes soak in hot water or throw them away if you can afford to but new ones and after you spend a day of doing all this it should be fine. Not easy but if done properly it works. Don't let no one use your combs, brushes, hair accessories and hats, jackets ,coats, sweaters. Good luck and I hope you really haven't had them for 10 years.

Answer 4

I have never heard of a lice problem lasting that long, are you sure that lice is the problem that you are dealing with? If so then get the rid shampoo & follow up with the fine tooth comb that removes the nits. Make sure that you wash all the linens in hot water & follow up with the shampoo as directed. Wash all your combs & brushes in hot ammonia water or throw them away & get new ones. Same thing with any hats or headbands etc.

Answer 5

there is a shampoo that is called RID you can find it at any drug store it is a what box with a red stop sign on it and in the middle of that stop sign it says RID it comes withe a fine tooth comb ( it is best to have some one comb through it for you so the can see if all the eggs are coming out ) in 7 to 10 days repeat treatment on hair

there is also a spray that RID makes for your carpet and furniture ... wash all your bedding stuff , and replace your pillows and brushes take any stuffed animals or toy that you have that have cloth on them and place them in trash bags and leave their for 2 weeks because hatching period for the eggs is 7 to 10 days and with out body heat or air the will die


i hope this helps you get well soon

Answer 6

Rid-X shampoo.

A pest control expert inspecting your home.
( A friend of mine didn't know she had mice in their walls - and that's where her lice came from.)

Look for a flea/lice killing carpet powder - put down (wear a medical mask - don't inhale the dust), leave it for a few minutes, then thoroughly vacuum and immediately get rid of the vacuum's contents. Lightly sprinkle table salt all over the carpet and leave it. Don't ask me why - this repels ticks, fleas and lice.

Spray the ground around the foundation of your home with insecticide.

Treat everyone in the home - including pets - at the same time you treat yourself.

Throw away all combs and brushes, get new ones.

Get all your friends treated at the same time as you.

Get a "flea trap light" ...it's a nightlight with a glue trap. Lice are drawn to it too.

Call your County Extension office and Health Department for advice.

Lice can live in bedding and upholstery. Ask your Exterminator or local Health Dept. how to best get them killed in bedding, et. al. without risking your health.

Good luck hon. you have a huge task ahead of you. I don't envy you. Take care. Peace. --De

Answer 7

omg !!!!!!!!!!!! 10 years for real ??? your home must be infested. surely in that time you have taken proper measures to get rid of the lice. or you didn't do all the necessary treatments. it is a real pain in the butt. first lice treatment for the hair as directed----wash everything made of fabric in the house that has had your contact such as bedding, clothing, towels. shampoo carpet and fabric furniture and then spray with proper spray. seal fabric objects not washable in plastic bags and leave for a couple weeks to smother the critters. and the above treatment also works for the pubic "hair" area just in case that is the area involved. again...wow---10 years !!!! woga !!!!

Answer 8

ok first don't share hats or scarves or whatever. YOu should wash them and probably wash your sheets and pillowcases too.

There is special shampoo you can buy to kill the lice (It's called Rit or something) and also special really fine-tooth combs that you can use to comb out nits and lice. Good luck!
