Six Top Facts About Head
Louse Treatment
 By Rashel

Head louse treatment may be
harder than you think. When you treat your child for head
louse, you have to consider some things. Here are some head
louse treatment facts.
Fact #1: Some lice may resist treatment.
Before, chemical based head
louse treatment products used to be effective. Recent
studies show though that some lice have grown resistant to
some products. This is why lice don't all die even when you
follow product instructions. This is also the reason why you
shouldn't immediately get angry or complain that you have
been misled by a head louse treatment product. Some
manufacturers simply cannot control how lice develop
chemical resistance.
Fact #2: Resistance can
develop from improper use of products.
The lice's resistance to
some products isn't entirely the fault of evolution alone.
Lice sometimes develop resistance against typical head louse
treatment products through the fault of some consumers.
Studies again suggest that the improper application of some
head louse treatment products may result in promoting
resistance among lice.
Fact #3: Some products are
only effective if meticulously used.
Avoid product resistance by
following product instructions properly. You should strictly
follow instructions as to the amount, frequency and duration
of application. This is also the only way you can fairly
assess if a specific head louse treatment product works or
not. In some cases, you may not have a completely effective
product even if you follow instructions strictly. This is if
your child has acquired lice that are already treatment
resistant.
Fact #4: They'll keep
coming back if you don't clean up.
Lice can survive for a day
or two away from their host. This means that even if you
have an effective head louse treatment, the lice on bed
sheets, clothing, and other things around the house could
get right back into your child's hair. You may have to
thoroughly clean your kid's things and your house to
completely get rid of lice. One tip is that lice hate heat
so you may have to use your dryer and vacuum to help you.
Fact #5: Regular inspection
is needed.
Even with a clean house and
the right use of a head louse treatment product, your child
may still get lice from friends and family who have it. You
should therefore make regular head and hair inspections a
home policy. Finding lice at an early time can help prevent
severe infestations.
Fact #6: Hygiene education
is still partly important.
Experts will tell you that
excessive cleanliness cannot prevent lice infestations
because lice like clean heads. You can however teach your
kids hygiene practices and habits that matter. You can for
example instruct them not to share combs, caps and clothing
with their friends and classmates. Doing so could spread
lice faster since some lice may transfer form one host to
another through clothing or other personal possessions.
Monitor both your child and his things.
