I have head lice????

Question

Well, my BFF got it from someone, then I got it because I go to her place and we hang out every day. The lice is very annoying, it itches above my ears, and on the back of my neck where the hairline starts. I haven't had an adult check me yet, but I know because my friend has it and my head itches where lice usually lay their eggs. Plus, my friend checked my hair and she said I had it. What would you suggest? And I dont want any "eww" because my friend and I can't help it.

Thanks much. :)

Answer 1

well it sounds like you have it deary you need to get the lotion and treat your head but retreat your head again after 7 day you will only kill the lice the first treatment but.... the eggs are very hard to get rid of they are like tiny pieces of specles like glue and they hatch after 3 to 4 days  

Answer 2

Plus- Dry your clothes, bedding and towels on high heat.  Cut your hair short.

Answer 3

You'll have to get shampoo made to kill lice, because regular shampoo won't work.  All family members will have to use the shampoo as well. At the same time you'll have to treat your entire house. All the bedding will have to be washed in hot water, the furniture and carpet shampooed, the seats in the car,  your brushes, hats, anything that you can think of that touched your head.  If it isn't all done at the ame time you'll just be spinning your wheels because the lice will be killed from one place and when the eggs hatch later they'll get on the things you just cleaned. You'll need to get it taken care of before school starts because they'll send you home till they're gone. You'll have to do it over again in a few days when the eggs hatch. I know it sounds like a lot of trouble, and it is.

Answer 4

Do tell your Mom because she needs to disinfect everything and you don't want it to spread through your entire family.

Nix or Rid at your local drugstore will get rid of them but also, I know it sounds funny but buy a jar of mayonaisse and cover your entire head of hair, put a shower cap on and leave it on all night. It smothers the lice and kills them. You might have to repeat it a couple of times as the nits (eggs) hatch.

Answer 5

Go to your local drug store and talk to the pharmacist they can advise you which over the counter medicne is the best to treat this, next do not share combs, brushes ect. you will need to wash all of your bedding and towels daily till you rid yourself of these little creatures. Beware that these little things can get into your eyebrows and other body parts if not treated.  Good luck  

Answer 6

Good Lord, tell your mom!  All your bedding needs to be disinfected, and the rest of the household needs to be checked!!  All hats brushes, etc. need to be thrown away or disinfected!!  You should talk to your doctor too!  Good luck
