Summary

Back-to-school means lice season—and Consumer Reports has a warning: those over-the-counter treatments you’ve been relying on? They might not be working anymore. Lice are evolving, and permethrin’s days may be numbered. The proven solution? Wet combing with a fine-toothed metal comb—condition, comb section by section, clean the comb each time, repeat until nits and bugs vanish. For faster results, ask about prescription options like Spinosad or OTC ivermectin. And don’t panic—deep cleaning isn’t necessary; lice can’t survive long off a head. Wash bedding and clothes in hot water, and your kid can return to school the next day. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
