Do you have to treat your swimming pool with anything if someone with lice was in it swimming?

The chemicals in the pool won't effect the lice. It will take a lot more than that. I recommend buying a shampoo specifically for getting lice out. If that doesn't work, you should talk to your doctor or something. The lice cling onto your hair shaft and don't let go even if your underwater. Actually, you shouldn't go swimming until the lice is away. You may give it to somebody else. I got a lot of this information from answers.yahoo.com.

How do you get rid of lice eggs in swimming pools?

Lice are passed by direct contact of one person with another--using the same comb, hat, etc. The best thing is to make sure you do not share a towel after swimming. Pool water makes no difference: the nits are glued into the hair, and only heat (like 150 degree hot water) can make a difference in that case. Pool chemicals are unlikely to make any difference at all.

How do you check for head lice?

You have to take strands of hair & look at your scalp. Head lice attach themselves & lay their eggs just a little away from your actual scalp & stay on strands of hair. You can check for the eggs, which will be white if hatched, & brown/gray for those that didn't. If they move easily when you brush it with your finger, it is not head lice. If it is hard to move, & stays in place, it is likely to be nits (the eggs).
