[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Combing out every other day is the most important thing, and avoid head to head contact/hugs/etc. unless you are combing everyone. The obsessive washing, drying, and vacuuming won't make a difference. Healthy lice live on heads, not stuff. When people think lice are gone and later find another it is not because they caught it from a pillow. It's because they combed once or twice and missed some nits on the head.[/quote] I have actually found live lice and lice eggs on bedding. While that might not be the most likely source of reinfection, you have to get rid of them before you can worry about reinfesting. Getting rid of them will be much easier if you make sure you don't have any live ones hanging around the house.[/quote]
