You may suspect that your child has lice if he or she has any of the following symptoms: Tickling feeling of something moving in the hair. Excessive itching, usually caused by an allergic reaction to the bites. Irritability and difficulty sleeping; head lice are most active in the dark. Sores on the head caused by scratching. Here’s what to do: First, look closely for crawling nymphs or adults. Finding them can be difficult. There are typically few of them, and they can move quickly. However, they are usually visible to the naked eye. Using a magnifying lens and/or light may help. Next, look for nits (eggs). In an active case of head lice, you’ll most likely find nits within 1/4 inch of the scalp. If you only find nits more than 1/4 inch from the scalp, the infestation could be old and may not need to be treated. If you are still unsure, take your child to the doctor, a school nurse or other health care provider. Or call the 24-hour Ladibugs hotline at 855-804-8889 and they’ll give you advice and guidance. What is the life span of head lice? Nits usually take about 8-9 days to hatch. Lice nymphs mature into adults about 9-12 days after hatching from the egg. They shed their exoskeleton 3 times within the first week before becoming adults. Adult lice can live about 30 days on a person’s head. A female louse can lay 150 eggs in her lifetime. If eggs come off the host, they usually die within 48 hours. Know your chemicals Kerosene derivatives. Pesticides. Petroleum. Are we REALLY prepared to expose our children or ourselves to chemicals like these? No over the counter or prescription head lice product has been proven 100% safe and effective. And repeated use of products with chemicals can lead to ongoing outbreaks, toxic build up in the system and resistance to the pesticides. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for testing and ensuring most pesticide head lice treatments in the U.S. are safe. However, they ask: Why risk it when there are natural alternatives that are proven effective without fear of any of the harmful side effects? The regulation of pediculicides pesticides (lice-killing pesticides) by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has created the misconception that they must be safe. These pesticides – found in products like roach spray and weed killer – are alarmingly overused on children with lice. Before you make a choice on what to use, here’s what you should know about the chemicals in most over-the counter and prescription head lice treatment products. Lindane (Kwell) Though this toxic chemical has been globally banned for use in agriculture, it is still the working ingredient in more than 2 million prescriptions for head lice and scabies. New York followed California in banning the chemical compound and it’s forbidden in 52 countries. Despite evidence of its health dangers, parts of the U.S. still allow prescriptions containing Lindane in pharmaceutical compounds. Lindane can have a number of health impacts, including neurological effects, cancer, blood disorders, endocrine disruption, liver toxicity, reproductive effects and immunological effects. Malathion (Maldison) Is a highly toxic derivative of nerve gas wh
