check each household member with a magnifying glass in bright light for lice/nits (eggs)
•
look for tiny nits near scalp, beginning at back of neck and behind ears
•
examine small sections of hair at a time
•

Treat
•
apply thoroughly to DRY HAIR or other affected area. For head lice, first apply behind ears and to back of neck.
•
allow product to remain for 10 minutes, but no longer
•
use warm water to form a lather, shampoo, then thoroughly rinse
•
for head lice, towel dry hair and comb out tangles
Remove lice and their eggs (nits)
•
use a fine-tooth or special lice/nit comb. Remove any remaining nits by hand (using a throw-away glove).
•
hair should remain slightly damp while removing nits
•
if hair dries during combing, dampen slightly with water
•
for head lice, part hair into sections. Do one section at a time starting on top of head. Longer hair may take 1 to 2 hours.
•
lift a 1- to 2-inch wide strand of hair. Place comb as close to scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from scalp.
•
pin back each strand of hair after combing
•
clean comb often. Wipe nits away with tissue and discard in a plastic bag. Seal bag and discard to prevent lice from coming back.
•
after combing, thoroughly recheck for lice/nits. Repeat combing if necessary.
•
check daily for any lice/nits that you missed
•
a second treatment must be done in 7 to 10 days to kill any newly hatched lice

if infestation continues, see a doctor for other treatments
