Directions
Inspect
-

• use a magnifying glass in bright light to help you see the lice and nits (eggs) -
• use a tool, such as a comb or two unsharpened pencils to lift and part the hair -
• look for tiny nits near the scalp, beginning at the back of the neck and behind the ears -
• small sections of hair (1-2 inches wide) should be examined at a time -
• unlike dandruff, nits stick to the hair. Dandruff should move when lightly touched. -
• if either lice or nits (eggs) are found, treat with the creme rinse
Treat
-
• wash hair with a shampoo without conditioner. Do not use a shampoo that contains a conditioner or a conditioner alone since this may decrease the activity of the creme rinse. Rinse with water. -
• towel dry hair so it is damp but not wet -
• shake the bottle well -
• completely saturate the hair and scalp with the creme rinse. Begin to apply the creme rinse behind the ears and at the back of the neck. -
• keep the creme rinse out of the eyes. Protect the eyes with a washcloth or towel. -
• leave the creme rinse on the hair for 10 minutes, but no longer -
• rinse with warm water -
• towel dry hair and comb out tangles -
• if live lice are seen seven days or more after the first treatment, a second treatment should be given
Remove Lice/Nits
-
• remove nits by combing the hair with the special small tooth comb provided. Remaining nits may be removed by hand (using a throw-away glove), or cutting the nits out. -
• use the nit comb provided and make sure the hair remains slightly damp while removing nits -
• if the hair dries during combing, dampen it slightly with water -
• part the hair into 4 sections. Work on one section at a time. Longer hair may take more time (1-2 hours). -
• start at the top of the head on the section you have picked -
• with one hand, lift a 1-2 inch wide strand of hair. Get the teeth of the comb as close to the scalp as possible and comb with a firm, even motion away from the scalp to the end of the hair. -
• use clips to pin back each strand of hair after you have combed out the nits -
• clean the comb completely as you go. Wipe the nits from the comb with a tissue and throw away the tissue in a sealed plastic bag to prevent the lice from coming back. -
• after combing, recheck the entire head for nits and repeat combing if necessary -
• check the affected head daily to remove any nits that you might have missed

THE FACTS OF LICE
Please read all information before using Lice Treatment Creme Rinse.
If you or a member of your household has head lice, don’t panic. Keep calm.
Anyone can get head lice - it has nothing to do with cleanliness or poor hygiene. Head lice are treatable and very rarely cause serious health problems.
What are head lice?
-
• head lice are small insects that live and feed on the human scalp -
• they may get as big as sesame seeds and are brown -
• lice do not fly or jump from one person to another. They can only crawl.
What are nits?
-
• nits are lice eggs laid on the hair near the scalp. One louse may lay over 100 nits. -
• nits are oval shaped, tiny and greyish-white -
• they are attached to hair with a waterproof glue-like substance that cannot be washed out or blown away
Because nits (eggs) hatch in about one week, all nits must be removed to stop lice.
How do head lice spread?
-
• head lice spread easily from close head-to-head or hand-to-head contact with persons who have lice -
• they may also spread by sharing hats, helmets, scarves, headphones, brushes, combs, bedding and clothing
How do you know if you have lice?
-
• itching is the most common symptom -
• scratching behind the ears or the back of the neck is a sign that you should check for head lice -
• scabs or blood spots may be seen
How do you prevent the spread of lice?
-
• do not share or borrow personal items like combs, brushes, or headbands -
• do not share or borrow hats, sweaters, coats, scarves, helmets, headphones, pillows or stuffed animals -
• store hats in coat sleeves and hang coats separately, so that they do not touch other people’s hats and coats -
• wash under fingernails when you first see lice or nits (eggs) -
• check your child’s head daily when you hear of a lice outbreak in day care or school
How to use the creme rinse
I. Inspect
If you suspect head lice - check. Head lice may be hard to locate because they avoid light. Nits are easier to see.
|
|
|
II. Treat
|
III. Remove Lice/Nits
Treatment kills lice but does not remove the nits.
|
|
IV. Clean home and personal items
After using the creme rinse, it is very important to clean personal items and your home to prevent the spread of lice. Nits may live away from the human head for about 7-12 days. Lice may live away from the human head for about 1 day.

Si usted o un familiar tiene piojos, no se asuste.

Cualquier puede tener piojos: nada tiene que ver con el aseo o una mala higiene. Los piojos se pueden tratar y rara vez provocan problemas graves de salud.
¿Qué son los piojos?
-
• Los piojos son insectos pequeños que viven en el cuero cabelludo de los humanos y se alimentan de él. -
• pueden alcanzar el tamaño de una semilla de sésamo y son de color marrón. -
• los piojos no vuelan ni saltan de una persona a otra. Sólo pueden arrastrarse.
¿Qué son las liendres?
-
• las liendres son huevos que los piojos ponen en los cabellos cerca del cuero cabelludo. Un piojo puede poner más de 100 liendres. -
• las liendres son ovaladas, diminutas y blanco grisáceas. -
• están adheridas al cabello con una sustancia tipo pegamento resistente al agua que no se puede quitar soplando o con un lavado.
Como las liendres (los huevos) nacen en una semana más o menos, hay que quitarlas a todas para eliminar los piojos.
¿Cómo se transmiten los piojos?
-
• los piojos se transmiten con facilidad por contacto directo de cabeza a cabeza o mano a cabeza con personas afectadas. -
• también se transmiten compartiendo sombreros, cascos, bufandas, auriculares,cepillos, peines, ropa de cama y prendas de vestir.
¿Cómo sé si tengo piojos?
-
• el síntoma más frecuente es la picazón -
• rascarse detrás de las orejas o la nuca son indicios de que debe revisar si hay piojos -
• puede haber costras o manchas de sangre
¿Cómo se evita la transmisión de los piojos?
-
• no comparta ni tome prestados artículos personales como peines, cepillos o cintas para el cabello. -
• no comparta ni tome prestados sombreros, suéteres, abrigos, bufandas, cascos,auriculares, almohadas o animales de peluche. -
• coloque los sombreros en las mangas de los abrigos y cuélguelos por separado para que no toquen los sombreros ni abrigos de otras personas. -
• lávese debajo de las uñas apenas descubra piojos o liendres (huevos). -
• revísele la cabeza a su hijo diariamente cuando haya un brote de pediculosis en la guardería o en la escuela.
