Helpful Hints

Use RID® on
dry
hair. Hair should not be wet prior to applying RID® because it may dilute the active ingredients and reduce its effectiveness.
-
You must thoroughly comb out the lice eggs in order to prevent reinfestation. This will take time, but is
very
important. RID® Egg & Nit Comb Out Gel can make this process faster and easier. Carefully read the package insert.

Head lice:
Head lice live on the scalp and lay small white eggs (nits) on the hair shaft close to the scalp. The nits are most easily found on the nape of the neck or behind the ears. All personal headgear, scarfs, coats, and bed linen should be disinfected by machine washing in hot water and drying, using the hot cycle of a dryer for at least 20 minutes. Personal articles of clothing or bedding that cannot be washed may be dry-cleaned, sealed in a plastic bag for a period of about 2 weeks, or sprayed with a product specifically designed for this purpose. Personal combs and brushes may be disinfected by soaking in hot water (above 130°F, 54°C) for 5 to 10 minutes. Thorough vacuuming of rooms inhabited by infected patients is recommended.
