| | Head Lice Facts |
 | | Head lice are usually treatable with lice-killing shampoos and creme rinses. | | | Head lice is an increasing problem because lice-killing medicines are becoming less effective. | | | After treatment, if no dead lice are found and lice seem as active as before, the medicine may not be working. |

| | Of these, the one which best stands up to scientific scrutiny is permethrin 1% creme rinse, but the lice can become resistant to any of the treatments, and if a correctly applied treatment does not work, it is wise to use an alternative on the subsequent occasion. | | | Head lice affecting the scalp (Pediculosis capitis) is a very common problem, especially in school children. | | | By this time the lice should be coming out dead (not moving) and this helps to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment. |

| | Head Lice Management Guidelines--UC IPM |
| | Head lice shampoos contain insecticides and if they are not used properly can cause problems in and of themselves. | | | One major problem for a child with head lice is that they will not be allowed to attend school as long as nits can be found in their hair. | | | Following the use of a head louse shampoo, use regular shampoo and conditioner to wash the hair (the hotter the water the better because lice are very vulnerable to high temperatures, but be careful not to hurt young children whose scalps are more sensitive to hot water than scalps of older people). |

| | Head lice do not seem to be readily acquired naturally, and they may pose less risk than any "repellent" product. | | | Assertions that dandruff shampoos are effective in removing lice are probably due to misidentification of dandruff as lice. | | | This should not be interpreted as meaning that all (or even most) head lice are resistant to permethrin and related compounds. |

| | Head lice control is most effectively managed with the following practices: Inspection, nit removal and treatment. | | | The more lice present, the more quickly the child will begin feeling an "itchy" scalp which would usually lead to an inspection by a parent or school official. | | | This is a very small test and the researchers cautioned against extrapolating the data to infestations on humans (Spielman 2000). |
