The kids friends and I have figured out that we have to keep checking and checking and get rid of them as soon as they appear. I had them too. I can't stop checking my hair because I still itch. It's been a month and I finally got my oldest son to go through it piece by piece with a really good comb for and hour...nothing, except skin and blood from my scalp from lice bites. My kids got a few lice bites but they didn't really bother them. Mine are everywhere. Normally u would find them around the ears and on the back of the head and neck. MiNE are all over the top of my head. Sometimes they itch like crazy. I am a picker. If I have a scab of some sort it's very difficult for me to not pick at it. If I pick at at one, it just becomes more itchy.I've put hyrocortizone cream in my hair, neosporum to prevent infection and help them heal. I sprayed Benadryl on my head, home herbal recipes etc to stop the itching which would help me to stop picking at them. They won't go away and it's driving me to tears. I keep checking my head for lice and searching for "new" bites and there's nothing but these stupid bites. As well, I've been all over online and people hardly make any mention the bites. That says to me that for others, it's not a big problem. Why is it for me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7102793505060561531.post-61295797644670688762015-09-30T15:35:44.994-06:002015-09-30T15:35:44.994-06:00My daughter came up with lice right before Christm...My daughter came up with lice right before Christmas, so I told no one.

Where I live, the local health authority has changed some of their literature on head lice but the schools, who say they base their info on the local health authority's advice, have not made any changes to their policies. Or, go to some of the links in this post for information from other leading health professionals that say no-nit policies are not effective and are excessive and give some of that to your school. Do you have a public health nurse that would confirm that your child's head lice is under control? If so, maybe they could contact the school and provide them with a little education. (However, I've met different nurses that were in favour of no-nit policies, so find one that knows the most current info.)

My daughter has been lice/nit free for a week, but because she has egg casings still in her hair the school will not let her back. There is no nurse at the school, so the woman who checks for lice has only limited training and she claims that these egg casings are nits...and there's nothing I can do to change her mind. In the mean-time my daughter is missing school and I have spent two hours a night combing her hair. Those egg casings are CEMENTED to her hair! I wish people would educate themselves. Lice is gross and frustrating, but it IS NOT A HEALTH HAZARD!

It might cause problems worse than head lice should it get in the eyes or should someone have a reaction to it in their scalp. As for the dish soap or any other creams, lotions, liquids, or 'shampoos', you know from reading this blog that I don't put much stock in them. In the time that it takes to use these 'remedies', you should just do wet combing with conditioner. <br /><br />If you want another really effective tool against nits, check out the blog posts that talk about using a hair conditioner on a warm, fast blowing setting.

Over night or even for an hour, either way is this an effective treatment? Does ANYTHING kill the unhatched nits?<br />I also wonder if Dawn dish soap would kill the lice, It kills fleas better than flea shampoo. In fact, I found one of the lice was still wiggling its legs so I doused it with Dawn, It finallly stopped. PS THANK YOU FOR Giving me permission to breathe and THINK without panic.
