[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Weekly combouts aren't enough if you have lice. It has to be daily for weeks. This may not be an issue of continually catching lice, but rather you aren't ever completely eradicating them.[/quote] Why do you believe you are correct about this? I was a lice lady and I don't agree. The life cycle of the louse is such that if you comb weekly, you disrupt the reproductive cycle of lice. Lice take a week to sexually mature. Eggs take a week to hatch. (approximately). I will grant that during the seven days between combings, if there is a live louse on little Larla, it could get onto another family member. This is why it's smart to do weekly combings of all family members if you are sure one of your kids has had lice. Sure in between combings you might have "louse", not "lice". But if you keep up regular (weekly) combings the problem is not going to be able to get a foothold. [/quote]
