What happens if you dont get rid of lice?

Answer 1

The most important thing is to have a confirmed diagnosis. If head lice are suspected, contact a health care provider (physician, pharmacist, nurse, nurse practitioner, physician assistant, school nurse, etc) and have them confirm an ACTIVE infestation.

A lot of people are treated for misdiagnosed head lice.

Then, ask for their recommendation for a treatment from a health care provider. They can tell you if it's appropriate for the severity of your infestation,your age, your medical history, etc.

There are many treatments ranging from home remedies to prescriptions. All have positives and negatives. Be aware that no home remedy is scientifically proven to work. Many over the counter products also do not have clinical studies as most are not FDA approved product. Any product that is FDA approved must go through several stages of clinical trials and approval before being available (most by prescription only).

It is critical, once you have a treatment, to follow the directions exactly as stated by the manufacturer. Most products do not have the ability to kill nits (eggs), so additional treatment(s) will be necessary to kill them once they hatch.

Answer 2

A good thing to do, is to either use tea tree oil, you rub it into your scalp to kill the lice, keep in for 10 or so minutes, or buy some head lice fluid from the local pharmacy, it is easy to use, just follow the instructions on the packet.
Get a shampoo that kills them. Check the pharmacy.

Answer 4

If you don't treat head lice, they'll continue to reproduce. Some people have an allergic reaction to the bites (they drink blood as their food source) which can cause the scratching - the tell tale sign of a head lice infestation.

If the scratching and itching is bad enough, it can break the skin leading to an infection.

An untreated case can also cause the head lice to spread to other people with whom you come in direct contact.

Answer 5

having had children more than once and after trying so many things I finally found the best solution and it's cheap:

First, remove the lice:

1.Wash well with normal shampoo

2. apply hair conditioner

3. Comb thoroughly all the hair with a lice comb making sure you remove all lice

Note: Don't bother if there are lice in the bed or the couch or elsewhere in the house because they'll day within short time as they need the comfort of the hair to live.

Then, most important: How to make sure they are not coming back:

1. When you wash the hair, normal shampoo

2. then apply hair conditioner (very important because lice can't hold on the hair)

3. in the morning before departing to school, apply alcohol 90% containing lotion de Cuacia (you should buy this product and not try to make it yourself)
