my four year old cousin gave it to my four year old sister, who gave it to my dad an my 11 year old sister. now my head is parinoid an im afraid to have it or not.

Answer 1

the eggs are not like dandruff at all..if u see dandruff don't worry.

  The eggs stick to the hair..like they are glued on..and when you pull them off it will make a clicking noise..or in my kids case,,the bug hatched and it crawed right down their face.

What a pain washing all those blankets and getting new pillows was..wow

If you're worried just wash your hair in olive oil tonight,,and they'll all be dead in half an hour, whether u have them or not.

Answer 2

get someone to look at your head w/ gloves. If you have lice, they're bound to find something crawling in your head.

Answer 3

You don't need to worry too much. If you haven't got an infestation, don't go treating yourself with pesticide treatments. Not only is this an overwhelmingly drastic measure, chemical head lice treatments are not meant to work in this way.

Get yourself some tea tree oil from your local health food store and mix 10 drops of it in with some water into a spray bottle. You can also mix it with some leave in conditioner. This will repel any live lice. When we use tea tree oil it essentially makes our hair unrecognizable  to head lice. They stay right away from anything other than human hair. Straighten your hair with a hot iron, this will pop any nits.

You really don't have to worry too much about it until you find live lice in your hair. Until then take these prevention methods and you should be fine.

If you have an infestation, please see the following website for more articles and information.

Good Luck.
