Lice infestations can happen at any time of the year, though certain periods of a child’s school year they are more likely to occur than others. Children often get lice from day cares and nurseries as well. And if your child has an infestation, you’re going to need a lice shampoo, a lot of patience and a healthy talk with your child about personal space.

Lice is the plural form of louse, and head lice are very similar to the fleas that dogs and cats get. Head lice prefers to stick around hair follicles, clinging to them when other things such as dandruff fall out instead of stick around. A severe case of head lice might be noticeable as they jump around, but typically a louse is so small that they aren’t easily seen.

Lice are typically picked up after contact with another person who is infested. In schools, lice infestations are spread by children sharing hats and combs. Though adults try to keep a watchful eye out, children still manage to bring lice home, every year. Bring children together in close areas, and lice is bound to be passed around.

Lice can also be picked up at day cares and nurseries. Staff are usually trained to be watchful of children sharing personal items, but somehow, little ones always manage to do just that. Sharing a toque or hat is all it takes for lice to jump from one head to another.

To treat an infestation of lice, parents will have to be ready to wash everything their child uses. From clothing worn at the time of infestation to the bedding and even the mattress, everything the child’s head touched will have to be treated. Hot water in a washing machine is the best way to wash clothing and bedding. Mattresses can be treated with an appropriate lice killing pesticide, but in some extreme cases, they must be thrown out. Brushes and combs also must be sterilized before being used again.

Lice shampoo can do a very effective job of destroying a lice infestation. However, shampoos do not destroy nits. Nits are the youngest or larval stage that lice have, and are attached by parents to hair follicles directly. The nits will not come off with washing. Someone will have to go through the child’s hair to remove them.

Unfortunately, nits can’t be removed simply by washing a child’s hair. They must be pulled off each hair follicle after being seen. That is why many shampoo kits come with a plastic magnifying glass and a pair of special tweezers. These are used by parents to pick through the child’s hair and pull out the nits. Only then will a shampoo be effective.

Lice has been a part of human society for a very long time, for as long as people have gathered together in social groups and shared things as a community. Children are especially prone because they don’t understand about not sharing personal items, and are kept together in tight knit groups for easy care. A good lice shampoo will resolve an infestation but the child needs to be advised not to share clothing or brushes, or they will simply become infected again.

Not too long after I started working here which was about 18 1/2 months ago I got a call from a mother who wanted to purchase our Liceadex lice removal gel to use on herself and her 4 daughters. She said she had been battling lice for a little over 6 months. She would tried numerous lice home remedy, it would help to make the nits easier to pick but after a few day when she would check their hair again the nightmare would start all over. The lice treatments she was doing just weren’t working.

One day after speaking with her friend on the phone about her girls’ hair and what a problem it was to get all of the nits out of their hair, her friend recommended she get on the web and search for a lice treatment product that would allow you to rinse the nits right out of the hair. She said a friend of hers had used the lice removal system but she couldn’t remember the name, said it started with a “A”. She searched for about an hour before she came to the link for All Stop, found the number and called. She said she just had to speak with someone from this company because as she put it “This just can’t be real’.

We started talking about the problems she was having and I recommended she purchase the lice removal family pack. Upon placing the order I advised her if she had any questions, concerns or problems about the lice treatment that she could give me a call. She called the same night she got our lice home remedy because as soon as she got them she tore open the package and began applying the lice removal gel starting with her oldest daughter’s hair. She went down the line applying and rinsing, following the lice regimen that comes in the package with the lice removal treatment but upon rinsing out the Liceadex on her daughter’s hair the nits were still there. She decided to go ahead and apply the lice treatment to herself. The treatment actually worked for her so she  applied it again on her daughter but for the 2nd time it was a failure. She attributed it to being tired because she had actually done 5  lice treatments in one night and had sprayed all of the bedding and furniture with the Home and Bedding spray.

She called me the next day crying because she was tired of it all and how could the lice removal product work for 4 of them but not her youngest daughter. I calmed her down and started asking her the questions we ask customers if they are having a lice treatment problem. I found out that her daughter had very thick, curly hair. I educated Susan on the fact that every hair strand had to be completely saturated with the Liceadex. We hung up that night and the next morning she called me in tears again, not because it didn’t work but because she had finally found a lice removal product that allowed her to rinse the nits out of her children’s hair and because it was safe enough to use over and over again if needed. She said she was a customer for life. If you are tired of having to take hours and hours combing and picking through your child’s hair then take a little time to learn about our non-toxic lice removal system.
