One of the problems commonly encountered by our children is head lice infestation. An occasional itch may not really indicate the presence of head lice but beware when the itching becomes persistent! Head lice may just be the culprit!

The common head louse is tan to grayish white in color, just about the size of a sesame seed and with hook-like claws at the end of each of their six legs! No wonder they can't easily be pulled out of your child's locks!

Head lice can be so irritating. These parasitic insects feed on blood by biting the skin and their bites truly itch! Among the favorite feeding spots of these parasites are the areas behind the ears and those near the nape of the neck.

There are three stages of development in a head louse's life. They start off as nits (head louse's eggs), hatch into nymphs and eventually mature into adult lice.

Nits are commonly found attached to the hair shaft. They are very hard to find especially for an untrained eye especially since they usually resemble dandruff or tiny droplets of hair spray in appearance.

A week after the nits are laid, they hatch and develop into nymphs. Nymphs usually look like adult lice but are generally smaller. Give it a week and they will soon emerge as mature head lice! A mature head louse has an average life span of 30 days but it can cause considerable irritation to an infected person.

What causes head lice infestation? Among the things which may have caused the problem are the following:

. Contact with an infested person

. Wearing an infested person's clothing or using an infested person's personal effects such as comb, brush or towels

. Lying in a bed or elsewhere recently used by an infected person

The early detection of head lice infestation may just save our children from the irritation and embarrassment usually brought about by these crawling and blood sucking parasites. It may even help deter the spread of the infestation to other unsuspecting victims.

Just how do we do this?

To effectively treat and prevent the spread of the infestation, we need to treat not just the infested person or persons but the whole house where the infested person lives.

Treating Persons with Head Lice Infestation

To effectively eradicate head lice, a prescription medication called pediculicide is usually used. Here are some useful tips to get the most out of your treatment.

. Remove all clothing prior to treatment and put on clean clothing afterwards.

. For best results, follow label instructions religiously.

. Shake off dead nits and remaining live lice out of your hair using a nit comb, which usually comes with these medications or you may use clean flea combs, which are designed for pet cats and dogs. It may be awkward at first but hey, if it works, it works!

. After the treatment, continue checking for nits and lice using your nit (or flea!) comb. Do this regularly for two to three weeks.

Other useful tips:

. Do the head lice treatment for every member of the family. If one is infested, chances are, others may be too. Eliminate the possibility of a recurring attack by thwarting the problem before it even has a chance to resurrect itself!

. If you are planning to apply the lice medicine, do not use cream rinse or a shampoo and conditioner combination before the treatment. It may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

. If no dead lice are found 8 to 12 hours after the treatment, the medicine may not be working. Consult your doctor so that he or she may recommend another medication.

. Don't forget to have all clothing materials (worn two days prior to the treatment) washed!

. Also, clean up the house. Do some vacuuming and have all clothing and linens washed, dry cleaned or stored in plastic bags.

Q: Are there different types of lice?
A: There are 3 types; head lice, body lice and pubic lice.

Q: How do you get head lice?
A: Lice are transmitted from person to person, by close personal and prolonged skin contact, including sexual contact. Transmission of head lice can also occur when people sleep in the same bed, share contaminated clothing, grooming items and upholstered furniture. Head lice crawl at a rate of about 12 inches per hour. They do not jump, hop or fly. Between 6-20 million people a year have to look for a safe head lice treatment or non-toxic lice killer!

Q: Does everyone in the house need to be treated for head lice?
A: Not necessarily. If one person in the household catches head lice, that person must receive safe treatment for head lice. The other residents of the house need to be carefully checked to see if they have lice also. If there are no signs of lice, then a person does not have to receive lice treatments.

Q: Do I need to shave my child's head?
A: No, do not shave your child's head. It could be very traumatic to your child. With Licenex™, this is totally unnecessary. Simple apply, lather and rinse,it's that easy. If you have long hair you may want to use a nit comb for the best lice treatments possible.

Q: Can I catch head lice from my pet?
A: Pets do not transmit head lice and head lice cannot live on pets.

Q: I wash my hair all the time, why did I get lice?
A: Even very clean people can get head lice. Regular shampoo will not get rid of lice or nits.

Q: How do I know if I have head lice?
A: One of the most common symptoms of head lice is itching, especially on the back of the neck, the top of the head and around the ears. You will also see nits, which are tiny white or brown egg sacs attached to strands of hair.

Q: Why are over the counter treatments not working for me?
A: The same chemicals have been used for years to treat lice. Health care professionals and entomologists reported as early as 1985 that lice have become resistant to pediculicides and malathion, the pesticides found in over the counter lice treatments.

Q: What is a pediculicide?
A: These are the dangerous pesticides that are sold to treat lice. Most over the counter remedies contain an insecticide called permethrin or pyrethrums. Even more dangerous is a pediculicide that contains Lindane. These products are neurotoxins, and when used excessively and incorrectly can lead to seizures and death. These are especially dangerous to small children, infants, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.

Q: Does Licenex™ contain any pediculicides?
A: No, Licenex™ is made of natural enzymes, which break down the skeletal system of the nit and lice. Once you apply the shampoo, the natural enzymes begin working to detach the nit and lice from
your hair.

Q: When are we not contagious anymore?
A: Once you have no more live lice in your hair, you are no longer contagious. Nits are not contagious if they haven't hatched. Be sure to remove all remaining nits with a nit comb to ensure they don't hatch and infest you again.

Q: When can my children go back to school?
A: Most schools have a no nit policy, which incidentally has been criticized by the American Pediatric Association, as nits are not contagious. Even if your school follows this policy, with Licenex™ you are guaranteed to return the next day because it helps dissolve the cement that holds the nits to the hair. Just be sure to use a nit comb to remove all remaining nits.

Q: Is there really a guarantee? Does Licenex™ really work?
A: Yes. We offer an ironclad guarantee that is unique in the nutraceutical industry. If you are not absolutely thrilled with your results, we will refund your money. There is no fine print. We at MicroNutra Health™™ know that Licenex™ works wonders. In fact, we are so sure that WE take ALL the risk.

Peppermint oil . . .
most powerful properties is its ability to ward off and repel parasites, including head lice.

Enzymes . . .

Licenex is Non-toxic - Hypoallergenic - pH balanced - Biodegradable - Has No artificial or synthetic chemicals - No animal testing

You can't argue the effectiveness of each of these individual ingredients. The secret of Licenex success comes from the unique patent-pending synergestic blending of all these ingredients to effectively and safely attack head lice at the root of every single hair.

Folks, I can't stress this part enough.

Two products with similar ingredients can differ substantially in effectiveness. Our products are far more than a bunch of thrown together ingredients. Cheap, poor quality products are virtually useless as they have low effectiveness and will not stop your head
lice condition.

Our scientists have discovered how to maintain a proper pH balance. This is what makes Licenex superior. Don't trust your child's head to anything less.

Other natural and herbal remedies require that you leave them in for hours or overnight. They leave your hair, furniture, clothing and pillowcases oily and smelly. You have to shampoo them out and launder everything they touched-and your house still smells!

Licenex is a gentle shampoo. You lather, rinse and relief! The lice are gone!
