Wet Combing Beats Lice Chemicals | Minneapolis News

Description

Back-to-school season means more than homework—it’s lice season too. With millions of kids affected yearly, traditional treatments are failing due to resistance and side effects. The real solution? Wet combing with a fine-toothed metal comb, conditioner, or olive oil—patient, persistent, and effective. No need to deep-clean everything; lice can’t survive off the head long. For curly hair, blow-dry after conditioning to ease the process. Prescription options like Spinosad or Ivermectin work better than old-school permethrin. And don’t panic—kids can return to school the next day after starting treatment at home.
