Is Your Child Still Scratching Her Head? 3 Reasons Why Lice Doesn’t Go Away!

Lice are persistent. Recall one incident when you didn’t toil away—hours on end—removing every nit and lice from your child’s head, only to find another infestation after a week.

Don’t feel bad about your lack of prowess and skill at lice removal. It ain’t easy.

Even one nit or live lice left behind can create an army of blood-sucking parasites!

So if you see your little buddy scratching his/her head even after dousing lice removal products and hours of nitpicking at home, know it didn’t work because of one of the following reasons:

OTC Products and Treatments Don’t Work. Period.

Parents all over America are freaking out at the possibility of not being able to kill head lice due to resistance against OTC lice removal treatments! A new wave of head lice is making the news, known as super lice which cannot be killed even with the most powerful anti-lice shampoo!

Nits or lice eggs are another concern.

Nitpicking Is Difficult, Incredibly So

Nitpicking is the art of picking nits or lice eggs from infested heads, by hand. A nit comb can be used for this process but even then it is subject to error. Most parents think by choosing the anti-lice treatment method, they’ll remove nits as well. But OTC lice removal products aren’t ovicidal i.e. they cannot kill lice eggs!

There is a chance of missing nits or even live lice from hair even if you choose the manual lice removal route. Not only is it difficult to remove nits from hair strands but even one left behind can hatch and multiply within days!

Every Family Member Doesn’t Get Inspected For Lice

Lice are highly contagious. You have more chances of getting head lice than flu, from another person!

Too often, parents only treat their 5-year-old daughter who caught head lice from day-care center. They don’t worry about lice transmission to other people (from head to head contact) or on objects shared by the family.

It’s important to have every member of your household checked for head lice nits. Ensure future infestations don’t happen by enlisting the help of Lice Busters USA, a lice treatment center Winter Park based and in other Florida locations.
