Treat head lice

Head lice are most common among children and are highly contagious, but there’s no need to panic: They do not pose any serious medical threat and are certainly treatable.

You Will Need:
* A magnifying glass
* A doctor to consult
* A well-lit room (or outside light)
* A fine-tooth comb (or louse comb)
* A blow-dryer
* Insecticidal shampoo
* Petroleum jelly
* A washing machine and detergent
* Freezer
* Television
* A magnifying glass
* A doctor to consult
* A well-lit room (or outside light)
* A fine-tooth comb (or louse comb)

Tips:
Active lice will look like this. But you will rarely see them. This photo is magnified a lot. Unhatched eggs will look like this. T. In real life they are the size of a pin head! After parting the hair in four use the handle of a comp to look at one row of hairs at a time.If you are combing lice and eggs out of a child’s hair, sit behind them as they watch a movie so that they pay less attention to the meticulous work you are doing. After combing use a roll of sticky tape to clean the neck and shoulder in case nits fell. Avoid any treatments that contain lindane, a toxic chemical. If your doctor prescribes a shampoo with lidane, ask about the long-term effects, and get a second opinion.
