: RID Lice Killing Shampoo (Available in 2
The directions state to shampoo “dry” hair with RID for ten minutes and then rinse out. The second step is to use the provided gel and comb to get out the resulting dead lice, and also remove any nits/eggs at the same time. Finally, repeat process in 7-10 days. DON’T FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS!
The reality is that the eggs can continue to hatch before the end of 7 days since you don’t know how old the eggs are. And, per information I read on the internet about the active ingredients, it is highly recommended NOT to use the product before 7 days since it is a pesticide that can cause great harm to some children.
After reading a lot of the available information on the Internet via Google search, we found the best approach is to use a good metal, fine toothed comb (Terminator Lice comb found on Amazon) and Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser as the gel to wet the hair for removing nits/nymphs and adult lice. We are making good progress. Also, we’re finding some success rinsing the girls hair with vinegar to help loosen the nits that are literally cemented to the hair shafts. Two days into this process and we are finding fewer and fewer nits/nymphs each time. We’re down to less than five and hope to get to zero in the next day or so from what we’ve read from other parents on blogs, etc..
ONE LAST PIECE OF ADVICE: don’t let your daughter or son share helmets for T-ball or junior softball. This is a huge mistake. Go buy one and save yourself the agony of dealing with this dreadful parasite.
