Lice do not jump! They are not like fleas.Type in "head lice" on your computer. They crawl very fast.?

We get head lice from contact. Example: Rubbing your hat, scarf, glove, or coat next to someone else's. They hatch and live in the seams of our clothing. This is why we are to wash everything for the next 10-30 days in hot water and the highest dryer heat setting. We could also put our pillows in a plastic container and put in the freezer for 3 days. Lice cannot live in cold climate. Spraying NIX Spray on your mattress and furniture during the daily regimen of washing your sheets and pillows, and blankets is recommended. Washing your items should be daily the 1st 10 days. Just as you would use the hair steps every 7 to 10 days for the complete month. You can get the NIX Spray for your bedding for $6.00 OTC or on ebay. Washing everyone clothing and coats, hat scarfs and gloves is important. Its not fun doing this but safe. P.S. Let anyone you've been around or close contact with know that you have lice especially if you plan to hang around with them on a daily basis. Chances are higher to getting the lice back if you don't.
