that, damned lice go away!
say what a strange, right?
"Lice? "Nits? Yes! It is an issue that concerns me a lot.
For my work I am exposed daily to the problem of head lice and it seemed interesting to lay before me in an entry the peculiarities of these friendly bugs and their treatment.
- To begin, head lice usually measure about 3 mm, although females are slightly larger. Each female lays about 10 eggs (nits) a day, are very prolific!
- is transmitted by contact, lice not fly or jump great distances, even going so fast, which favors its rapid spread. Walking head to head, sharing combs, towels, etc. is a source of infection. We also have to know that head lice survive YES water, or in the pool can also catch them!
- particularly affect children, but everyone is vulnerable if exposed to risks. It is more common than girls because they tend to catch wear their hair longer. They are also more difficult to eradicate in this hair.
- clean hair scares not, nor is it true that prefer the dirt.
- The use of anti-lice shampoo or cologne is proactively favoring the lice become stronger and more resistant treatment when the problem really exists. These products should only be used when the problem has arisen.
- Thousands of home remedies exist and are traditionally transmitted not have proved effective, although it is true that vinegar and water (warm) allows lice and nits are easier to catch , slows down and removed the better.
- If we catch them, effective pharmaceutical treatments are made from pyrethrins or permethrin . We must follow the instructions very well also used to wash and disinfect sheets and towels, hats, scarves, combs and all sorts of costumes or objects that may have come in contact with the head. This part is especially important to keep our heads once vuelvana getting clean.
- The key is PREVENTION . From my experience it is best to wash your hair 3 times a week (unless you may need more), use fabric softener or mask and then comb the hair very well and review it with a special nit comb to trap bichillos . The one I use is as follows:
- Observation and consistency is the base to prevent, is a little heavy too, but I do not know another way to tackle the problem in time.
- mice do not carry human lice.
- When trap is necessary to kill lice caught between the thumbnails and tighten until you hear a "click"
I not post pictures of the bug itself because it is pretty nasty. For the network and the wisdom of moving tips and other beliefs, but this is what I can contribute based on awareness and prevention campaigns that are remembered each year at different schools. Still, I have to admit I'm pretty likely to get lice, at least once a year. Although the time of year that is normally present autumn-winter in my neighborhood there throughout the year, so it's pretty hard to be always safe.
not have to be something shameful ... Do you ever caught? Working with children is almost impossible not to ...
