Best Answer

No. The itching is the by product of the lice. You need to go to the drug store and by a shampoo just for killing lice. You will have to use it several times before you get them all.

How soon after coming in contact with someone with lice does your head start itching?

This is what I can tell you from my expert experience. Your head may itch only after you have had head to head contact,or shared brushes, hats or combs with someone with head lice.

How can you be sure head lice are gone?

The best way to ensure all of the head lice are gone is having a nurse (or doctor) check the head in question. There's always a small chance the medication hasn't been completely effective, thus a human examination is the best way to go.
