Lice Comb; the best ever head lice treatment

Schools are going to re-open, and if you are parents then you must have encountered the head lice problems which is something children bring at home from school.  We all know that  head lice are the small critters which are parasitic in nature live by sucking the blood from the human scalp. Their eggs are usually called nits and they are attached to the human hair. In order to detect whether your child is having a head lice or not then you need to examine their head closely under the light. Scratching is not the only sign to detect whether your child is having a head lice or not. If you cannot find any crawling lice in the head but only the nits are there, then it is the clearest sign of infestation of the head lice because the nits are going to hatch in less than a week. 

The head lice are usually spread from direct head to head contact, which in result make the lice to come in contact with the other person’s head. Children often contact their head or sit closely while playing and studying which makes it even more favorable for the head lice to shift from one head to another. There's no other way of getting infested because the lice cannot fly or hop as well. The other misconception of spreading a head lice is by clothing or furniture. The lice cannot survive elsewhere other than a human head. So if it happened that there is any lice on your clothes or carpet or anywhere it is not going to survive more than a day unless they could get a chance to crawl over some other person’s head. There is no risk of getting infested by the furniture or the carpet and there is a limited chance of getting infested by the house pet as well.

Itching is the most common and the obvious symptom of the head lice, it happens due to the bites which are being done by the lice in the head. It also results in severe allergies afterwards if the condition gets worse. After starting your head lice treatment, you will not be encountering any itching problems at all for the first several days. 

The best treatment which is used for the head lice treatment is definitely the combing. It is time consuming as well but it is most effective for all. The treatment begins when you apply any greasy product in your hair either it’s a conditioner or the oil. It will cause the lice to move slower and it also causes suffocation for  their breathing. These products are easier to remove as they are very commonly use as well. 

Many of the people think that using insecticide or the medicated shampoos are injurious to use but they are actually helpful if the condition of the infestation is getting worse. The medicated shampoos should not be used without the prescription of the doctor and read the label and the precautions before using it. Try not to use too much intense insecticides as it will cause the allergies.
