Accepted Answer

Thorough de-lousing!: With head lice, wash the hair with shampoo containg lice killing medication, usually malathion. That should kill lice but not all the eggs (nits). Wash all bedding and clothing with hot water & detergent to kill lice/eggs. Comb hair with nit comb twice daily for two weeks to prevent recurrence.

Question 7

i have head lice. what is the best treatment for this?

Accepted Answer

Nix (permethrin)  or Rid: I'd start with a basic otc product like nix (permethrin) cream rinse or rid.  Used as directed, they are generally effective when used in conjunction with daily combing with a nit comb.  You don't need to fumigate your home, but i would clean brush/comb with boiling water, wash and dry bedding/ clothing (hot dryer).  Items that can't be launder and dried on hot should go into a bag for 2 weeks.  Good luck.
