I have seen a bunch of television sitcoms where the dreaded lice is a story line. It starts with crazy parent’s running around ripping sheets off the beds and throwing out every stuffed animal and ends with a poor kid sitting with a slimy head being combed through and looking miserable. Its fine to watch it on TV and think it’s amusing, but you live in fear of the phone call from the school nurse saying that your child has lice.
Kids (and adults) can contract head lice any time of year, the most prevalent seasons are fall and winter because that’s when kids are the closest in contact with each other. Lice spread from head-to-head contact and can be transmitted through shared linens, hats, brushes, and other hair accessories.
So what do you do? Let’s start with a few facts you need to know to understand just what you’re up against:
- Lice are minuscule. A full-grown louse is the size of a pinhead. During the nymph stage, which lasts seven to 10 days, they’re practically invisible.
- Lice are fast. Entomologists say they can crawl through hair at 12 miles a minute.
- Lice are fertile. A female head louse lays about 10 eggs—known as nits—a day and up to 200 during her life cycle. That’s 10 eggs a day from just one bug.
So how do you get rid of head lice—hopefully without poisoning your child or the environment?
