Understanding Head Lice

Head lice aren’t a pretty situation. That’s exactly why people should take the time to grasp them. If you want to be able to figure out how to handle a nasty case of head lice, you should familiarize yourself with the whole concept. Pediculus humanus capitis is a name associated with head lice. It’s something that affects countless individuals annually, particularly in educational environments. They’re little insects that have bodies that are for the most part gray and light. They consume blood that originates in the scalp, too. They tend to exist for roughly 28 days total. If you suspect that you or someone you know has head lice, there may be several indications to take note of for you.

Indications Of Head Lice

If an individual has head lice, he or she may begin itching in the specific spot of the insects. Don’t assume that this itching always takes place immediately, though. It does not. People sometimes do not develop any itchiness whatsoever for anywhere between four and six weeks. Once the little insects get on the scalp, they may have to wait for that amount of time. It may require a long while for the scalp to develop an intolerance to the saliva that’s associated with the lice. It may take a long while for itching in general to start. Itching typically occurs in the spots close to the neck or ears. Itching that’s brought on ice may persist for lengthy stretches of time. It doesn’t necessarily go away as soon as the lice vanish, either.

It can sometimes be a hassle for people to be able to pinpoint lice on scalps. Why is that? It’s because their bodies are so little. It’s also because they refrain from being around light. It’s even because they participate in rapid motion at all times.

There are certain components that make individuals a lot more susceptible to the development of head lice. People tend to get head lice after being close to others’ heads. That’s the reason that head lice are generally so prevalent in educational environments. Head lice tends to be an especially big dilemma for youngsters who are in classrooms or playgrounds. It’s a particularly typical issue in kids who are from preschool age all the way up to junior high age or so. If you have concerns about youngsters and the spreading of lice, you should pay careful attention to items such as towels, pillows, scarves, hats, headphones, combs and brushes. If a child shares a comb or a brush with another pupil who goes to his school, then there could be the possibility of spreading head lice.

Do you have any concerns that involve treatment for head lice? If you do, we can assist you here at Lice Lifters in Toms River, New Jersey. We’re a treatment facility that can help make pesky head lice go away permanently for you. Call us at any time for further details about our contemporary lice removal approach.

Lice lifters of Ocean County is amazing! I called them in a panic Tuesday evening and received a call back within 20 minutes to make an appointment for the next morning. Laura was so kind and patient as she answered all of my questions and treated my two young daughters and myself for lice. Hopefully, we will never have to be back, but would highly recommend!
Megan Kelly
I used lice lifters when my daughter got lice from school as many kids do. They were fantastic with helping us out and getting her all fixed up with their great service. I would recommend them to anyone who needs the help. It’s terrible to go through but they know what to do and fix it. Thank you 😊 I appreciate Laures help .She was just amazing 🤩 💯🙏🙌
Jenn Marione
As a mother of 4 i knew coming into contact with lice was a possibility thru public schools. My nightmare came to a reality this past week. I was beyond relieved to find Lice Lifters and the second I called them Laura answered and was amazing from the start. She answered my questions and made me feel calm and assured it would be alright. I might have been in panic mode a little bit.
Laura got me in the very next morning and treated my whole family with such warmth and kindness. Truly a very caring and kind human being in general but she made every single member of my family finally feel ok and took her time with each and every one of us. I am beyond grateful to have found this amazing business and very thankful we where lucky enough to get Laura.
5 ☆ isn’t even enough for this establishment. Highly recommended from a mother of 4 with all long hair and a fear of lice. This place is a blessing.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! They are the most amazing people and are so good with my autistic daughter. My daughter had gotten lice back in june and I was so traumatized by it that I get paranoid now when I see anything white in my daughters hair or mine so I’ve been to lice lifters like 3 times for a head check and they have never made me feel crazy or judge me for it. I went today for a head check cause my daughter had alot of white spots in her hair. She has bad dry scalp and so do I but I was using head and shoulders for 2 weeks on us and it wasnt getting better so I got worried. But they were so awesome about it and she told me cause our hair is so dark that the dandruff just shows alot more. They made me feel so much better and at ease now. I also use there detangler spray and it looks like it’s working so I’ll stick with that from now on and I’ll always know where to go if I feel worried that its lice again. Thank you so much again lice lifters! I will always reccomend anyone who needs help with a lice situation to go there!

I brought my daughter here out of desperation after having treated and combed her at home (many combing sessions!) but still finding a few nits in her hair after a couple of days. She needed to be able to go back to school. Laura was wonderful!! She explained the process and checked both my daughter’s and my heads. She was very kind and clearly had so much experience doing this. She found nothing lice related which was such a relief. To get the all clear from a professional gave me so much peace of mind. I bought a bottle of their treatment too, just in case we need it sometime down the road. I love that it doesn’t have all of the harsh chemicals. Going forward I will always recommend heading straight to a lice clinic rather than trying to deal with all of it on your own. It’s worth every penny. Thanks again Laura!!!
Nikki Grato
I called lice lifters of Tom’s river in a complete panic. Rebecca was a life saver!! She was able to confirm that it was in fact lice. She worked on trying to get me into the facility as soon as she could. She was extremely responsive and available to answer all of my questions before and after our appointment (and there were a lot of them ). She never made me feel crazy for all my questions and concerns. When we got to the location Laura took care of us. She was awesome as well! She made me feel extremely comfortable and explained to me about lice and how to handle the situation. She was excellent with my 2 young children. She checked all of us, treated us and sent us home with all the information we needed to clean at home and treat our hair. She truly made me understand lice, the transmission and how to go about successfully getting rid of it. Thank you Rebecca and Laura for being so helpful and caring to this stressed out mom !!!!
Brittany Sudah
My family was exposed to someone with lice, so naturally we were freaked out and wanted to be checked. Not only did they fit us in quickly on a Sunday, but Lisa was thorough, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Luckily we didn’t have it and hope we never do, but if so, we won’t hesitate to contact Lice Lifters in Toms River.

I brought my daughter here super professional, very clean place would highly recommend 5 stars across the board

My daughter had lice. I took her to the pediatrician and was told she didn’t have it so we thought we were in the clear. But she kept itching and a week later I found a bug. :-( I tried the CVS brand — waste of money, did nothing. I felt so defeated. I decided to try Lice Lifters and it was worth every cent. They got rid of the lice that lasted weeks and they calmed me down and eased my anxiety. My peace of mind meant everything. I am SO GLAD we went. Thank you Lice Lifters,!!!!

Don’t bother buying a ridiculous box treatment because it never works… my kids came home with LICE!! I was tariffed because both my girl and boys have thick hair! Lice Lifters went above and beyond and took care of business!!! The nicest most professional hard working people I have ever met, my daughter has special needs and the way they handled it was seamless and gave me a sigh of relief… they gave us instructions and materials for post care as well… Worth Every Penny…. Thanks again Lice Lifters!!!

Ann Marie Lusquinos
Last Wednesday I received the dreaded phone call from the school nurse telling me my six year old daughter had lice. I was completely overwhelmed never having dealt with it before. I knew I needed help. I called my pediatrician and she recommended Lice Lifters. I called from the school nurse’s office at 3:00 in a panic and Brooke answered the phone. She was so sweet and kind from her first words. She told me I could come right over and she would take care of her. The nightmare continued as it turned out that I also had lice. Brooke rearranged her own personal schedule to take care of me and my family. She worked with us from 4:00-8:00. She was kind, reassuring, gentle and made a nightmare situation comfortable. She educated me , explained how to clean my house and made me laugh numerous times. I am so thankful for Lice Lifters and Brooke and can’t thank her enough for all she did for me and my family last night. We left there lice free and able to return to school and work the next day!! Thank you!!
Matthew Presutti
We had the unfortunate news that we had a case of lice in the house. It was late in the afternoon, their office was closing and it appeared we weren’t going to get treated today. The office called us and said the owner will come in a couple of hours after closing time to treat my daughter and check our family. Terrific service! Thank you.
Angela Tamayo
Ugh LICE!! What was a traumatic and painful ordeal was less painful and less traumatic thanks to Lice Lifters. Brought my daughter in on 9/14/19 and Lisa took care of us and what a great job she did! She was so kind,and thoughtful and considerate of my daughter and her needs! I also purchased the family kit for the rest of my family and that was a life saver! Lisa took the time to educate us about all things lice! I would recommend Lice Lifters to everyone who needs a treatment! THANK YOU LICE LIFTERS!!!

Lice Lifters is a Life Saver. This is a situation that creates tons of anxiety and Lisa was just outstanding. She’s patient and kind and made a tough situation almost easy. It’s a great relief to know a place like this exists. Cannot thank you enough.
christina mitchell
I totally panicked when the school called saying my daughter had lice. I went to buy over the counter treatment and I am so glad I went to Lice Lifters instead! Tracy was amazing! She was so calm, and was explaining everything to us. She is great! I am so glad I went because it turns out my daughter didnt even have any lice! what a relief! and what a Life Saver, Life Liters and Tracy are!!
Michelle Block
PRAISE LICE LIFTERS!!!
Of course when I got the call from the school nurse, every pore on my back popped out a bead of sweat and my scalp was just itchy all over. In a panic, I called and was assured that my son could be seen right away. Upon entering the facility, all worries dissolve. I was reassured that I WASN’T a nasty-stank-nasty mom and these things happen more often than one thinks! There were plenty of books on all reading levels, so that the children can fully understand what’s happening to them and to not feel bad for it in ANY kind of way. The staff was BEYOND THOROUGH with my son’s hair. We were, offered snacks, refreshments, Netflix and my son was just as happy as a clam, playing his hand held game as she worked on my son’s hair.
Being a woman of color, I thought MY coif was going to be a challenge, but they were gentle and BEYOND THOROUGH. This lady knows hair and her subject matter VERY WELL. She was a wellspring of knowledge and advice when it came to getting your home up to snuff to confirm these uninvited guests are no longer habituating in your domain.
Post-treatment instructions were simple to follow and you get plenty of product.
Needless to say, not only are we lice free, but I was able to get a full refund through my health insurance.
Heather Gulden
Great experience with Lisa. I was completely overwhelmed and upset when I found out my 6 year old had lice. She showed me the nits and we learned about the life cycle how to prevent them and what to do and put me and her completely at ease after an unbearable weekend. I found this place online and I highly recommend her. Im so grateful they are here! My daughters smile was worth every cent.
Gisele Aviles
Great place.
