[blparent] help with mutent lice

[Michael Baldwin]

Actually it is the heat and the fact they are not on a host that kills them.
It don't matter if the heat is from the washer or drier.
 I would spray with Lysol, wash on the washers sanitary cycle if you have
one, dry on high heat, spray with Lysol again, and put in large plastic
trash bags for about a week or so. Then wash as normal.

Another thing I forgot was to use the hair dryer on the hair at high heat,
then have it curled or straightened.

This is making my head itch just thinking about it...UG.

It's not the washing that kills them it's the dryer, most dryers will kill
lice.

When washing clothes, bedding, towels, etc., the water temperature has to be
140 Fahrenheit or above to kill lice and their eggs.  This is hotter than
most washing machines are set, so you might have to find out if your machine
can be set higher or else use a commercial laundry until the problem is
under control.

Can lice and nits be detected nonvisually?  Does anyone have suggestions on
how a blind parent can comb or pick nits without sighted assistance?
