Quick tip: How do you clean a lice comb?
Wipe it with toilet paper or paper towel. If something is stuck between the teeth, never pry them apart. Clean it out with dental floss. If you want to sterilize the comb between users, put it in a cup. Pour boiling water over it and let it sit for a couple of minutes.

Hi Cathy, is there any way that 1 nit can be picked up by bedding, pillows, ect. I found out that my sister has lice. We both got treated and I combed my hair. I only found 1 nit. Thanks for the advice
I used all your advice a few weeks ago until I did not find any more nits. Now a few weeks later I have way more LARGE bugs than ever. Also...in my household of 4, I(mom) am the only one getting them!! I have checked hubby and boys SO MANY TIMES and haven't even found a nit or louse one!How can I be crawling and NO ONE ELSE HAS THEM?? 2 hour conditioned today and TONS of combing. Please advise!

What colour are live nit eggs? Thanks
Thank you for this wonderful blog and all of your fact-based information!
My question is about wet combing weekly for maintenance. I apologise if you address this elsewhere in the blog and I missed it.
I think you said you do this in the tub. Do you wipe your comb on a paper towel after every brush? Or do you brush through a few times and then wipe?
Is it sufficient enough to comb through and not look to see if you find anything unless there is a report of an outbreak at school or unless you see something in the hair when it's dry?
I'd like to get in the habit of wet combing my kids' hair every week but I want to do it quickly enough that they don't get squirmy and complain when it's time.
Lice are usually white right?!?! I found a bug but it was black! I immediately took a very thorough shower and saw a lot more bugs! It was my first time to see so many since I don’t pay too much attention to my hair. And I’m afraid to ask my mom and dad since they are on the verge of breaking up and have fights everyday. I’m scared I might disappoint them. I just don’t know what to do anymore. Please help...
