There are high chances that you will get the lice more than once. Most of the anti lice drugs kill the lice but spare the eggs. The lice will return, when the the eggs hatch. So normally you are advised to repeat the application of drug after a gap, usually one week. You can get the reinfestation with lice many times in row from the classmates of your daughter.

Yes, unless you treat your hair in the right manner to prevent lice, you can get lice more than once, in fact it can become reoccurring if you do not take the necessary precautions.

Absolutely not. Being around other people who already have lice gives you lice. People with dreadlocks are no more likely to get lice than anyone else would. And if infestation does occur, it can be just as easily treated as it would be on someone with non-dreaded hair.

How do you get rid of a huge case of lice?

I have had lice before and it was not easy getting rid of it. Comb your hair alot with a special comb for getting lice out, you could try sleeping with mayo in your hair with aluminum foil surrounding it. Lice doesn't like greese and it might suffocate them. I tried that when i had lice, afterwards wash your hair with vinegar. And remember using the lice products at the store cant hurt. One more thing to try, is putting lavander in your bath a friend of mine told me all the lice run to the top of your head when you dunk your head in the water. Then have someone pick them out. As far as the nits go (eggs) have someone comb all of them out.Answer There are plenty of good products available from your local pharmacy. Modern day products are more than effective and are not overly expensive. If your unsure ask your pharmacist who will be more than happy to suggest the appropriate product for your needs.

Do lice come from fleas?

No, lice do not come from fleas. Lice are transmitted through contact with another animal/human that has lice or with an item that has been contaminated through contact with an infected animal/human. For example, brushes can have lice in them and when used on more than one person or animal the lice can then move from one to another.
