All About Lice

head liceWhere to find them and why you need them
Head lice – a perennial problem especially among young children, spreading like wildfire among schools and communities as they are difficult to diagnose in the early days and are sometimes mistaken for such as dandruff and other scalp conditions. This is why, when diagnosing a possible head louse infestation, the use of pictures is very important, and we are very fortunate that modern technology has allowed photography to advance to such a degree that we can now see very detailed lice pictures, and video clips, displayed for us in high resolution on a computer screen, an aid to identification that surpasses all others.

There are several ways of creating these miniature marvels – one is to take a standard picture of the louse in real size and enlarge using computer technology, another to actually phonograph the louse using an attachment on a microscope – but there can be no doubt that having life like photographs of head lice, both in actual size and enlarged for detail, has led to easier diagnosis and a better understanding of the different methods of head lice treatment.

Lice Symptoms

Head lice symptoms are also pictured in this way, with examples of the site of a bite and the following infection, and also depictions of what a nit looks like and how to tell if the scalp is infested, and this type of head lice information has led to a much greater understanding of the problem. It is absolutely essential that if a case of head lice is identified, it is treated straight away, and this can be done in a number of ways.

Many people choose to use medicinal shampoos – Ovide, using the Malathion insecticide, is a popular one- yet many choose to steer away from such chemically formulated lotions and treat the head lice problem with home remedies. Indeed, there are many instances of picture guides to these methods, with pictorial instruction on using tea tree oil for head lice, olive oil for head lice and more, and as always the important, rather essential, nit comb is also depicted, with an illustration of how to correctly wet comb the bugs out of the hair.

Indeed, the ability to place high resolution head lice pictures on internet websites has led to easier treatment of the problem, and as public understanding of the phenomenon grows these pictures will no doubt prove their worth beyond all doubt. Modern technology has a lot to answer for, so it would seem.

Chicken Pox

Chicken Pox

Chicken pox is a highly contagious viral infection caused by the varicella virus. Chicken pox is a disease of childhood and ninety percent of cases occur in children aged fourteen years and younger. Chicken pox can occur at any time, but occurs most often in March, April, and May in warmer climates. Chicken pox is typically diagnosed clinically based on the history of viral symptoms and the characteristic appearance of the rash. However, sometimes chicken pox can be confused with herpes simplex, impetigo, insect bites, or scabies.

Most people are aware of the rash, but chicken pox starts out looking just like a common cold. Runny nose, sneezing, cough, and fever are typical first symptoms of chicken pox. Three to five days later the rash shows up.

The rash itself appears as dots ranging from the size of an eraser head to about the size of a dime. Within each of these dots is a fluid filled vesicle which may pop over the course of the following days. The lesions may be painful, itch, or not be bothersome at all. They may be found anywhere on the skin, in the mouth and within the vaginal area and even unseen within the penis. Urination may be painful because of this.

The most contagious time occurs when the person is manifesting the cold-like symptoms.  This happens usually two to five days before the rash appears. As a result the time in which someone is most contagious occurs before the person even knows he has chicken pox.  After the rash appears, the person is infectious for about five days or until all the lesions have begun crusting over.

Humans are the only animals that get chicken pox. So the only way to catch it is by being around a person who is infected. The virus is spread through secretions and by tiny droplets, so sharing saliva, sneezing, and coughing are good ways to pass the virus from one person to another.

Children with immune problems can have significant problems if infected with chicken pox. These include those children infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, those with cancer, those on steroids for other illnesses, and newborn babies.

There is not a lot that can be done to completely eliminate the symptoms once a child is infected with chicken pox. Most treatment is then aimed at trying to alleviate the pain, itch, and fever associated with chicken pox.
