Can the lice come back? No nits. One louse five babied?

You should have picked it up and squeeze them dead between your thumb fingers! That's how you hand-pick lice, so they don't infest.

There is NO POSSIBLE way you can see all of them inside your head, it's not a yes or no answer, someone have to go through them like finding a needle in a haystack!

I had lice for over 13 years. In Asia, many people do, because it's a tropical country. I completely forgot I had lice when we moved to USA. They don't grow very long in a cold country. Good hair care also helps.

@ Rite-Aid or Walgreen, they have a shampoo called Rid and Nix two that are the most common, but recently the FDA approved a nonpesticide containing a product, Ulesfia, that is safe and effective for children 6 months and older.

When you pick up your medicated shampoo, apply it to dry hair (not washed hair as the package suggests). When you wash the hair, the lice can sometimes ball up and protect themselves and the medicated shampoo won't do what it needs to. Instead, apply it to dry hair, everywhere, careful to get every hair near the scalp covered. Leave the shampoo on for the time recommended and wash it out.. Buy also the lice comb, to use on your hair, to get rid of the insects, but you need to find the NITS, they're white and kill them between your thumb nails, by squeezing them until you hear it. They suck blood from your scalp.

Facts about lice

• Pets can't carry lice

• Lice can't fly, they can only crawl and cannot jump more than an inch or two at most.

• Lice eggs are called nits and hatch nine days after being laid.

• Lice mature in 10 days and can live about 25 days total.

• Each female louse lays about 80 eggs in her lifetime.

• An adult louse can survive off the host for two days.

• Prepubertal kids get lice pretty easily.

• Adults are much less susceptible.

• Lice do not carry diseases.

• Getting lice is not due to bad hygiene.

• Only items in contact with the hair itself need to be cleaned (no need to vacuum the whole house for example). Hats, hair brushes, hair clips and bedding definitely need to be cleaned, but stuffed friends only need to be quarantined for a few days because lice can't live off a person for longer than that.

Laundry: Lice don't live long off the scalp. No need to do laundry every day for this week or two. Just do the bedding on day one and any other day that you find live lice. There's some debate about whether you really need to bag up stuffed toys, hats that can't be washed, etc. It seems that since the lice can't live long off a human head to feed on, these items won't harbor live lice for long.

Natural remedies like mayonnaise, tea tree oil and other products have not been shown to be any more effective than just combing the wet hair.

No need to spray: Spraying your furniture or house with lice killing spray is not necessary because lice don't survive off the scalp. Pets can't get or carry lice either.

Don't overreact: Don't treat your whole family just because one child has lice. You can't prevent lice infestation. Just comb your infested child's hair well, wash the hair accessories, combs, brushes and hats and stay on the lookout for lice.

When the combing begins, strand after strand, the lice ending up on a paper towel. Lice don't live for very long once they're picked off their host's hair.
