HAPPY PASSOVER – THE 3RD PLAGUE - LICE

Lice Lifters offers head checks if you cannot tell if you have lice. Though small, lice are visible by the naked eye. Typically you will notice the eggs, or nits, first near the scalp where they are laid. They are white, tan or brown in color. It can be difficult to tell the difference between nits and pieces of dandruff.  The best way to determine which it is by trying to shake it out; the nits will cling tightly to the hair while the dandruff should shake off easily.  Adult lice are the size of a sesame seed and hatch from the nits about two weeks after being laid.  Adult lice can be seen crawling or moving around and they can live off the hair for up to two days.

Lice Lifters offers all-natural The Nit Nanny Products and a heated AireAlle treatment.  To help prevent re-infestation, wash all bedding and clothing that may be contaminated in hot water and dry at high heat.  Not everything needs to be washed it can just be put in the dryer on high heat for 30 minutes to kill off the lice.
