How to Get Rid of Head Lice

Today, pediculosis is a common and unpleasant problem for many people. This disease is parasitic in nature, and it is caused by the ingress of lice and nits on the human hairline. These insects bite through the skin, and their saliva can cause severe itching. Another problem is that the bite sites are heavily combed by a person over time. Because of this, the skin is damaged and various infections can get inside. No one is immune from this disease, and you can get it anywhere, even in Los Angeles, Sacramento, or San Jose.

Therefore, wherever you are, if you find any symptoms of the disease, immediately contact your doctor for help.

However, it is not always possible to call a doctor who will deal with lice and nits, therefore, it is better to understand how to get rid of these parasites on your own. First, you need to identify them. As a result of the presence of lice on the body, you will experience certain symptoms:

• Small spots of a gray-blue tint on the skin
• Red rash on the skin around the head, neck, or pubis
• Combed skin in some places
• Appearance of itchy skin
• The presence of nits in the hair, that is, eggs that lice have laid. They are not very large, about 1 millimeter and parasites hatch from them.

However, you need to understand that it will not always be possible to identify this disease as quickly as possible since everything is complicated by the presence of an incubation period, which can last up to 30 days.

Most often, parasites are transmitted from person to person by contact, that is, through touch. There are also cases of infection through various household items or clothing, but this is a rather rare occurrence. It should also be understood that a person cannot contract this disease from an animal. The thing is that lice are species-specific and can only be transmitted to organisms of their own species. That is, from person to person and from animal to animal. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, parasites can appear in an absolutely neat person who takes care of himself all the time, because they don't care what hair they live on, dirty or clean.

Let's see how you can get rid of lice. In general, there are several ways to treat pediculosis:

• Mechanical. It can be a short haircut or a complete shave of all hair.
• Physical. This includes boiling and ironing laundry.
• Chemical. This method involves the use of special drugs

For the most effective result, it is better to combine physical and chemical methods at the same time. For example, you can use special medicines and at the same time treat clothes, bedding, and all personal hygiene items.

Treatment may differ, depending on the age of the patient, as some medications should not be given to children. Also, what medications you need to drink depends on the individual characteristics of the human body. For example, on whether he has an allergy. To avoid problems with this, you need to contact a specialist. To find the option that suits you, simply type "lice treatment near me" on the Internet and select the clinic that is most attractive to you.

One way to remove head lice is to completely shave off the hair. In this case, this infection can be eliminated quickly and painlessly. However, this option is not suitable for everyone, so lice combing is used much more often. Before starting this process, you need to find a special comb and adjust the lighting. This procedure involves first covering the shoulders with a towel, and then the hair is treated with a solution of hydrogen peroxide with water. Then you need to comb your hair with a regular comb to untangle it. Next, the combing of the parasites themselves begins. It is worth remembering that the bangs are processed last. Further, using a special comb, you need to smoothly comb the strands, dipping it into a pre-prepared solution.

After completing the procedure, wash all clothes in hot water and disinfect a special comb.

The advantages of this method:

• No risk of chemical burns
• This method can be used at any age
• This method of treatment does not cause an allergic reaction
• This method can be used at any time.
• When using a comb, the skin and hair will not be adversely affected by any chemicals
• No risk of chemical burns

This option of getting rid of parasites really works, the main thing is to follow all the rules and be careful.

Another way to cure pediculosis is to use a special shampoo. It must be applied to dry hair and distributed along the entire length of the strands and over the scalp. After that, you need to massage the soaped hair and leave the shampoo on them for a certain time. Finally, rinse everything off with warm water. If lice still remain in your hair after the first use, you can repeat the procedure several more times. When you wash off the shampoo, you will need to comb out the parasites with a special comb. This is a mandatory procedure, without which the use of shampoo will not be as effective, since lice eggs must be removed manually in any case.

Another good way to kill parasites is to use kerosene and vinegar. Kerosene kills parasites, and vinegar softens the sticky shell of nits. You can use these substances separately. The safest option in this case is to mix a spoonful of kerosene with a spoonful of shampoo and add two tablespoons of oil there. Next, you need to mix everything thoroughly. Thereafter:

• Apply to hair and rub
• Put a tight plastic bag on your head, fix it and leave it in this position for an hour. Or up to 15 minutes for children
• At the end of the time, you must remove the bag and wash your hair with warm water

In the end, the nits are combed out with a special comb. For maximum effectiveness, the comb must be moistened with vinegar. If during the procedure you feel a strong burning sensation, immediately stop it and wash your hair well.

However, it is worth remembering that the most effective treatment for pediculosis is the use of special medications or professional lice removal in cities like San Bernardino, Riverside, and others. With the help of these methods, you can quickly get rid of this disease and at the same time as efficiently as possible. The main thing is to consult a specialist before using drugs.
