Yes and no ; some times. =)
It depends on what peroxide you're using. If you're using the peroxide you get in the brown bottle at wal-mart for 50 cents then no. But if you're talking about the peroxide that lightens your hair - yes. If you're going to get rid of head lice using the peroxide route try a 20 volume peroxide. This will lighten your hair 1-2 shades (with no bleaching powder!) and kill all lice and nits. You could use a 30 volume if you wanted lighter hair or if you were crazy about getting the lice out, however Do not EVER EVER EVER put 40 volume peroxide directly on your scalp. It will burn your hair off.
AnswerYes. Boiling water will kill lice and nits on a brush and comb. I would boil for 10 minutes but less time may be necessary to kill the lice and nits. You do not need to boil overnight. Lice and nits cannot survive in very high temperatures. Research has shown that lice and their eggs can survive freezing temperatures..
well nits are the one that produces lice so no but the nits's babies are the lice
Lice Eggs and Lice Nits are usually mistaken as Dandruff and Dandruff is usually mistaken as Lice Eggs and Lice Nits
no dogs can not get lice they can only get a different lice which is dog lice not head lice which humans get so basically no dogs can NOT get nits (lice)
All those who have lice infestation - Pediculosis - in their hair have nits (eggs of lice).
You only have to use the shampoo to kill the nits.
Nits grow into lice
Seal it in a ziplock bag for a week or so. That will kill any lice, eggs, or nits residing in the helmet. They can't live if they don't have a head to live apon!
It will not hurt anything but it will not help with the lice.
Yes, i have Experience. but you might what to do it 2 or 3 times to make sure.
Lice.
Nits are the eggs laid by human head lice Pediculosis capitis. The lice are about a millimeter long (easy to see look in the related link below). I suspect the dots you are finding are the eggs (nits) that are glued to the base of your hair strands. The eggs (nits) are very difficult to remove even after they are dead or have hatched.You need to kill the lice and the eggs using some proprietary topical treatment.
