My oldest daughter had them when she was in Kinder. She had them really bad. I was totally grossed out! But with her hair so long and me not wanting to cut her hair, I used the treatment but was having a hard time taking out the eggs with the comb. So I sat there for what seemed like forever and picked out every single egg. The treatment will sometimes kill the eggs but not all,,, so you have pick them out and pop them like how you would kill a flea. I felt so sorry for her. After the the first sitting I would check her thoughout the day. Poor thing wanted to hid so that I wouldnt look through her hair. but with all that hair I wanted to make sure I got all the eggs out! I followed up with the treatment and that was that.

I don't remember ever having head lice as a kid, but I do remember my sister getting them. My mom would treat her and she would get them again. So my mom would use the treatment and then wash her hair with dog shampoo for a week or 2 and it would worked she didn't get them again. As far as dogs having lice,,,,, they get a different type so I don't think there is a worry there. Now as far as yourself getting them,,,,,, It takes just one to lay thousands and thousands of eggs and you may not even know for some time that you even have them. My son and husband never had to worry they have always kept their hair really short,,,,, but us girls who all have really long hair I would treat mine and the girls even if I didn't find anything. Because chances are if one has them it they will spread. You never know. And finding just one is like looking for a needle in a haystack! So it's a good idea to treat before they start to lay eggs. Good luck with your wife and keep checking any other humins heads that live in the house.
