Head Lice termination

The next part of the TLC method is to TERMINATE LICE COMPLETELY -- from the head of the sufferer and the environment.



Once you have the proper tools, treatment schedule and product, your main goal is to terminate the lice from the head. More time should be spent doing lice egg removal than anything else you may have been advised to do. It is important to apply treatment as directed in the case of pesticide and in my opinion, stop using them if they fail to work the first two times. My recommendation is to use a safe non-toxic method that can be applied every 4th to 5th day for a period of two weeks. Combing should be done daily to remove nits. Lice eradication is a process of reduction. The environment needs to be taken care after every topical treatment has been done. So instead of wasting time on cleaning and laundry, your daily focus should be on lice egg removal. Cleaning every 4th to 5th day after each follow up treatment is enough. Spraying pesticides on your bed or in your environment in my opinion is not safe and does not cure lice infestations. Instead, vacuum items that have come in contact with lice. Place items in the dryer on high heat for 20 to 30 minutes. Or if you cannot vacuum or place items in a dryer, set these items aside for 24 to 48 hours as Lice die without a blood meal in this time.
