Pediculus Capitis
People of a certain age will undoubtedly be familiar with the legendary ‘Nitty Nora’, the once ubiquitous, but now defunct, nit nurse from their childhood. It was Nitty Nora’s regular school visits that usually struck fear into most children’s souls, terrified that she would discover head lice ensconced on their bonces. These pin-head sized grey-brown, wingless insects, live by sucking blood from the scalp, and leave their eggs (tiny white specks commonly known as nits), glued to the base of hairs. Head lice are transferred by close hair-to-hair contact, which makes them common in schoolchildren, particularly between the ages of 4 and 11. However, anyone with hair – child or adult – can catch them. Head lice cannot jump, swim or fly, so they’re not quite the all-action heroes we might think. However, contrary to popular belief, they have no preference whatsoever as to the cleanliness or style of a host’s hair.

hi my step daughter has suffered with head lice for nearly 2years we have tried everything on the market for head lice,weve tried just using conditioner,cider vinnegar,we have boiled her bedding renewed her pillows thrown out furry toys,but nothing seems to work can you help please my stepdaughter is 12yrs old with quite long hair witch she would like to keep
I have tried everything even the new lotion NYDA still nothing has worked for me I regularly comb my children,s haie with the nit comb they still haven't gone please can someone help me as I have five children and they all have them.
The best solution for head lice eradication is Full Marks Solution , but it's not the solution alone that helps ,but combing out the hair in 4 sections – back , left side , right side and front , nurses and doctors advise coming evenly for 5-10 minutes on each section , this unfortunately does not help , my daughter had a bad infestation for 6 months and most products did not work , but using Full Marks Solution along with the correct combing ( 20 minutes at each section – its tiresome , BUT IT WORKS !!!! ) kept these little blood suckers at bay , that was 8 years ago , she has never got them again , use Tee Tree shampoo once a week to keep those little 'nitty nora's' away it also smells pretty good too . I hope this helps you in your quest for a removal !

A girl in my school has really bad nits she had them for two years now n her mum says they will go on their own but the never do how can i help my friend and most inportantly how do i stop getting them
i totally agree!! nits are horrible little bliters to have!!! i used to go to a very small village primary school in tthe country where some of the kids there were just infested!!! my mu nitcombed me everynight with conditioner but each day i caught the again from the other children. nits are really not nice! if EVERYONE just nit checked the selves once every week or so we would be rid of them! but yes i certainly agree,,, these homemade methods of using cooking things ay work but there are easier ways…. A GOOD QUALLITY NIT COMB FROM THE CHEMIST OR PHARMASY, CONDITIONER AND LOTS OF IT, AND TEATREE SHAMPOO HAV A NICE LONG SHOWER EACH DAY AND COMB THRU UR HAIR WITH THE NITCOMB, THEYLL GO IN NOOOOOOOO TIME.
whats the best way not to get nits?
