Though a louse is only the size of a pin- head, medical school professors delight in showing the 60000000X magnified photo of the beast, which takes on the aura of an extra from Jurassic Park. Half the class im- mediately starts scratching wildly while the rest dash for the exits. The louse, which needs to feed on your blood to survive, enjoys several snacks a day. The saliva that it injects into your skin through its sucking jaws prevents the blood from‘clotting. This saliva causes the infamous itch. : The timorous wee lousie lays an average of five eggs (called “nits” by their moth- ers) per day.

Remember that most of the commercial preparations are toxic pesticides and not Vidal Sassoon hair care products! Do NOT use them when you get an itchy scalp or mistake a flake of dandruff for a nit.

A louse usu- ~ally survives no more than 20 hours once off a human scalp. a A well founded concern has risen con- cerning resistance to pesticide shampoos giving birth to “super lice.” This worry has also launched several home remedies and “suffocants” including mayonnaise and Vaseline. My advice is to hold the mayo (my mother always made me put the “mayo in the fridge so I wouldn't die of warm mayo disease.)
