Any advice on the recent lice explosion? I am sick of chemicals that don't work?

Tea tree oil! It will kill out lice on scalp. Add to detergent to kill on washables.

Add to warm water for a misting spray for furniture/non-whashables then add to daily shampoo to keep lice away!

I so feel for you. I experienced the same nightmare with my 3 children and myself. I wrote a hub on these nasty Superlice that goes into the details of smothering them.

This is what I did and they're gone without a trace... hubpages.com/hub/Secret-Weapon-Against-Supe.

Wordscribe 41's response is excellent, however, you can eradicate nits without using expensive chemical treatments. Cover the hair with conditioner and comb through using a fine tooth comb to remove any lice. This needs to be done every other day.

I was advised to do this by my doctor and it worked beautifully - plus I didn't have to put up with the awful smell of chemical in the house. You also need to alert other parents and your childs school teacher to the fact that you have found the nits. Unless all your child's friends are also free of the little blighters you will continue to see re-infestation.

Good luck!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
