Headlice?


Head lice has been in existence since the beginning of time. In the times of Cleopatra and King Tut era. These people used to shave their heads in order to get rid of these annoying contagious critters.


Head lice can easily be passed from one person to another through head to head contact, sharing of combs & brushes and of course by sleeping with someone who is already infested with head lice.


This is a picture of a lady that has lice attached to her hair.




Below is a picture of a few dead head lice.




Head lice has to be shampooed and combed out with a head lice shampoo and fine tooth comb found inside the box. This shampoo can be found in any pharmacy near you. Follow all shampoo instructions and make sure all bed linens and clothes are washed well, the entire bed has to be sprayed with a head lice spray, all hair brushes and combs need to be completely washed and cleaned before using again. The head lice spray will destroy the eggs or living lice on the bed itself. Spray the bed, chairs and the room of the patient who is contagious as well as everyone who lives in the house should have at least 3 applications in a row with the head lice shampoo for the next 3 days or until no infestation is present.


Head lice is highly contagious ailment and children must be kept home until the infestation has been cured and the school has permitted them to return.
