· Only 50% of people are itchy from head lice. People are itchy from lice bites not so much from the bugs crawling around and it may take 3-4 weeks of an infestation to become itchy. People taking antihistamines for allergies may never become itchy at all
· There is no season for lice. It is a year round problem
· Lice are not living in your house and re-infesting your family…Lice can only live and reproduce on a human head. Off the head, adult lice die within 36 hours and they only lay nits (lice eggs) on a human head
· Special house cleaning products and laundry additives are completely unnecessary! Using the heat of the dryer or vacuuming items that have had contact with someone’s head is all you need to do. Services that sell these products are taking advantage of their customers
