Answer 2

Nit removal from scalp hair requires the aid
of another person. Equipment needed:
• one sheet or large towel
• hair dryer
• sink or shower to wash hair
• one regular comb
• hair clips
• one nit comb (LiceMeister® or
LiceOut® comb)
• Paper towels or toilet paper
• Good lighting and magnifying lens
1. Wet hair. Place a sheet or large towel under a
chair and place the infested person in the
chair.
2. Dry the hair with a towel or hair dryer until it
is completely dry. The heat will help to
loosen the nits from the hair.
3. Wet the hair again and comb out tangles with
a regular tooth comb
4. Part the hair into four sections and pin with
clips.
5. Pick up one section starting at the tops of this
section, lift a one inch wide strand of hair and
place the teeth of the nit comb as close to
scalp as possible. Make sure the teeth of the
comb are deep into the strand of hair. Pull the
nit comb through the strand of hair.
6. Nits that are difficult to remove may be
scraped off by moving the nit comb up and
down the hair shaft starting at the scalp. Wipe
the comb off, with a tissue, after each stroke
through the hair.
7. Pin back each section of hair after removing
the nits.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 to the remaining 3 sections of
hair. If the hair becomes dry, dampen with a
little water.
9. After picking all the lice and nits you can see,
rinse the hair with water to wash out any loose
nits.
10. Dry the hair with a clean towel or hair dryer,
then check the entire head for nits you may
have missed.
11. Repeat this process twice a day for two weeks,
even if you don’t see nits!
After Treatment Cleanup
1. Have the person who was treated change into
clean clothing.
2. If you are treating more than one person –pour
boiling water over the nit comb, hair clips, and
regular comb and let soak for 30 seconds.
3. Wash the sheet, towels clothing the person
was wearing.
4. Flush the toilet paper and seal paper towels in
a bag and place in trash.

Answer 3

My daughter caught it from a play group at church - ooooh was I mad!
The only thing that worked for us to get rid of everything was coloring her hair! Believe it or not we tried everything else first! We had the same problems you're having. I think the dye dissolved the nits.
Pick a color closest to her own and go for it - it's less expensive too! I used a temporary one, but it ended up being permanent.
Remember to wash everything of hers in HOT water - esp bedding and take any stuffed toys - put them in sealed plastic bags for a week or 2. Otherwise, they can come back! Vacuum, clean clean clean - so sorry!!!

Answer 4

You actually have to comb out or pick out every single nit.

Answer 5

there are medications available at the druggist.
