Continued from Is Head Lice A Danger To Your Child's Life

Small lice are known as nymphs and they stay as nymphs for about 7 days.  Lice feed on the scalp every 4 hours and generally it only takes a nymph 7 days to become a full-sized adult. (The size of a sesame seed). The problem with lice is that it takes a continued effort to get rid of them.

Lice easily spread from one child to another due to the social behavior of children. While sharing hats and brushes head lice are often passed back and forth even after one child has been totally cleaned out. That is why it is important to let LICENDERS come clean out the whole school, or playgroup at once.

The best thing to do is to be patient with your child and stick to a program of natural head lice removal. If your child still has head lice after 2 weeks of treatment, talk to your child's friends' parents.  There may be several kids in the class that have lice, which is making it difficult to get rid of them.

Head lice is an annoying but common problem that is difficult to get rid of.  It is in your favor to catch the lice at an early stage before it develops into a full blown infestation.
