Anyone can get crabs. Having crabs does not mean a person in unclean or dirty. A person can get crabs during sexual contact with a person who has crabs. During the close physical contact, the crabs can move from the pubic hair of one person to the pubic hair of another. Crabs can be sexually transmitted even if there is no penetration or exchange of body fluids. Nonsexual transmission of crabs is also possible. A person can get crabs from:

* sleeping in an infested bed or using infested towels.
* wearing infested clothing.
* an infested toilet seat, though this is rare.

I went to France on a holiday travel trip and last week and caught some lices. Now they are stuck to me and we are quite attached . I want to take care of them and treat them right but I think they are French bugs and can only understand French medicines. I live in the States and I don’t speak French and the medicines that I get here can only be in English language so I’m worried that the French Body Lice won’t understand the English language instructions on the medicinal creams and lotions. These Frensh bugs are attached to my hairs in my frontal and behindal areas and they are really crawling every which way and getting annoyingly annoying and bothering me. Do you think that my French bugs can react and understand the functions of my English creams?

lice shampoos should work but, you cant stay in the water long enough to drowned them. if it were Head Lice you could use olive oil and a shower cap and leave it on while you sleep, that will suffocate them. but any treatment should be repeated in 11-14 days because that is when new eggs will begin to hatch.

Everyone in your household must be checked to see if they have lice also. Wash your bed linens in HOT water, and dry on high. Vacuum your mattress. Put your pillows & stuffed animals into a plastic bag for a few weeks. Clean your comb/brush in HOT water. You must get some lice shampoo for your hair. HINT: Do not wet your hair first–put the shampoo on your dry hair. (Lice have a defense mechanism where they close up when they get wet to protect themselves.) After you wash your hair, you must comb/pic all of the nits out of your hair. A nit is a lice egg. If that egg hatches, the cycle starts all over again.

INGREDIENTS: anything that will smother lice and nits and cut off air
supply.
INSTRUCTIONS: After reading all of the remedies for head lice it seemsthat there is a pattern running through all of them and that is any
mixture that is thick enough to cut offair supply, whether that be mayo, olive oil or thick conditioner. I dovote for the white vinegar for detaching the nits, and alsotea tree as a further deterrant.Tthanks to this site and the advicefound here, we are nit and louse free after a few very frustrating months.Personally I used the mayo as I had no wine vinegar in the house andwanted to combat the problem instantly.

NAME_OF_REMEDY: Head lice
INGREDIENTS: cooking/salad oil
vinegar
tea tree oil
nit comb
shampoo
towels
INSTRUCTIONS: This is an easy remedy to rid you of those unwanted
pests. Messy but very effective!
First, add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to your shampoo, this
works as a preventive measure from further attacks.

Ok now to the messy part:
Use equal measures of cooking/salad oil and vinegar apply to dry hair,
massage through hair covering entire head.
Wrap in towel leave for 15 min.
After 15 min is up brush hair then use nit comb through hair, this
should be really easy because of the oil.
Rinse comb after each brush through.
When finished hop into shower and shampoo out (with the tea tree oil
added shampoo).
You may find you have residue oil left in the hair and it may take a
couple of extra washes to wash out, but this is fine.

Don’t forget to clean/soak all brushes and combs, vaccum floors, strip
all linen etc and hot wash to kill lingering pests.

I have tried this method twice now and its brilliant, once when my
daughter was 7years old and again about a month ago,
she’s now almost 11years old. So yeah I think it really works.

INGREDIENTS: listerine/white vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS: Just got to tell you! LISTERINE so far has worked! We tried over the counter stuff, we tried prescriptions,we have beendealing with this since November of last year!We are SOOOO SICK of it we didn’t know what to do. We saturated withlisterine and use a shower cap for 2 hours. The lice were dead in thecaps and we saw them in the sink.The even fell out when we were combing thru before we saturated withwhite vinegar. I am going to spray once a week with the listerine and just leave it in. My husband is so sick of washing the bed linens and spraying the furniture. We are praying we have it under control now. I never had thisproblem until we moved to FL from VA. I found out that lice is in spanish moss and my girls go to daycare where there is moss every where. I just hope it works to keep them away!

INGREDIENTS: 1 bottle of Listerine mouthwash
White vinegar
INSTRUCTIONS: My dughter has very long thick hair and we had suffered head lice for six months, buyingall the chemist remedies,with no effect. My mother bought a book containing household remedies and it said: saturate the hair with listerine mouthwash and cover with a shower cap. Leave for 2 hours then shampoo in the normal way. We did this and it killed all the lice immediately. The saturate the hair with white vinegar and comb with a nit comb and the vinegar destroys the glue that the head lice fix the nits to the hair with. Just comb them out. Believe me – it works!!

INGREDIENTS: Tea Tree Oil Shampoo and conditioner
INSTRUCTIONS: Hi there, We have a very high incident of head lice in our schools in my community. It is a constant battle here. My daughter seems to get lice every year.Recently my daughter got head lice again! Then I got them as well, we battled and battled, I had used tea tree oil shampoo in the past and thought, I will try this again. I went to a hairdresser supplier and bought a good shampoo and conditioner, I also bought a teatree oil conditionar exfoliate for the scalp (WOW it was great), (Paul Mitchell is the
brand I used) I used this ever day and scrubbed my head really good with a towel after to dry it, and look for lice on the towel, after about the 4th day I did not find antoher lice, or nit. We use the tea tree oil all the time now even thought there are no more head lice in my home. I found that it works better then any chemical treatments. It is worth the price. Hint: You can also buy tea tree oil and add it to your own shampoo and conditioner.
Best of Luck.
P.S. Vinager gets rid of the glue that holds the nits, that way it is easier to pick them off.

After catching head lice in the 2nd grade, my mother took me to a salon andgave me a perm. My hair was long, all the way down my back and she wasn’t
about to cut it all off. I got a perm once a year after that and nevercaught head lice again. I highly recommend perming your daughters hair if you can’t bring yourself to cut it. As I grew older, in Jr. High, I startedto color my hair. This too blasted the little buggers. I haven’t seen
them ever again!

INGREDIENTS: HAIRSPRAY (GOOD OLD CHEAP AQUA-NET, LOL)
INSTRUCTIONS: WHEN MY SON WAS IN HEADSTART THERE WAS AN OUTBREAK OF LICE. MY SON WAS THE ONLY ONE IN HIS CLASS TO NOT GET THEM. WHEN I DISCUSSED THIS WITH HIS STYLIST SHE SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAS A FLATTOP AND HIS HAIR IS COATED IN HAIRSPRAY EVERY DAY. IT NOT ONLY ALLOWS NO PURCHASE FOR THE LICE, IT ALSO REQUIRES HIS HAIR TO BE WASHED DAILY YET ANOTHER THING THAT LICE DO NOT LIKE. MY DAUGHTER HAS LONG, LONG HAIR, WE DO NOT USE AS MUCH HAIRSPRAY BUT HER HAIR IS WASHED DAILY AND ONCE A WEEK I USE TEA TREE SHAMPOO JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE. 6 YEARS LATER IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM WEHAVE YET TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH LICE MAKING IT HOME AND DEALING WITH THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA THAT IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT.
HOPE IT HELPS!

Mayonaise works because it has oils and vinegar in it.
The lice nits have a hole in the end of them that provides oxygen, that eventually bursts open like a popcorn kernel; …the oil smothers it. So actually, vaseline type products are best.Products that are made for ethnic hair are loaded with petrolateum and smell better.White vinegar/water mix at 50/50 under a shower cap for 20-40 minutes neutralizes the glue that the lice use to wrap their eggs around the hair shaft.I used the ethnic hair products and had my daughters hair braided for several days and then followed it with the cider mixture. Her long, thick, blonde hair was to her butt, and never needed cutting.Special note: A louse life cycle repeats in 8 days, but the eggs remaining on the head generally hatch in 5 days…so waiting a full week to use treatments a second time is too long. I got my reference from the encyclopaedia brittanica on the life cycle. I’m sure NIX knows this, but if they advertized it, they would lose a brand product.I know someone that used “OFF” for bugs products and swears by them.Skin-so-soft is oily and repells all sorts of insects!! Ants will not cross a threshold where this was sprayed, even months later…and I used it to kill a nest of carpenter ants…they dropped on contact!

Country of Remedy = USA

Ingredients = Vinegar,Tea Tree Oil, Cooking oil(veg)Rinse
Desenex Extra STrength Shampoo/ Coal Tar Shampoo like Nutragena
Plastic caps
Thin Towels,
Lice combs (Metal)
Regular extra thick conditioners.
Instructions = Lice Treatments that actually work.

Important. Over the counter products/lice shampoos DO NOT WORK!Just shampooing is not enough. Must pick out every single egg from strands of hair. This must be done daily.What helps remove the nits/eggs from the hair??Since the louse attaches the egg with a glue. The only thing that is found to help loosen the glue is White vinegar.To kill the louse and possibly some of the eggs/nits you can mix Coal Tar shampoo such as Nutragena’s or the generic brands. With some Desenex Xtra Strength Shampoo. Put on the hair DRY. Mix equal parts.Wrap in plastic cap and set for at least 30 minutes. Comb with metal lice come that comes with worthless Lice Shampoos. You can also buy them at Sav-on by themselves.Comb, comb, comb! And keep rinsing the lice comb.** Then rinse hair with white vinegar solution, see below for mixtureYou also need some Cooking oil and some Tee tree Oil. Mix equal parts of Cooking oil and Vinegar and then add 20 to 30 drops of Tee Tree oil.Saturate the scalp and hair. Then comb a lot to try to remove some eggs. Then wrap hair in a warm towel that is damp, then place cap over the towel. And let it set for hour and half.Then comb, comb, comb again. Rinse and remove with Dawn Dishwashing liquid. Very, Very- important. MUST be DAWN, this works wonders to remove the oil from hair.Then you can condition the hair and scalp again with a thick moiturizing conditioner and comb some more.Then each day you must blow dry the ON HIGH HEAT. The heat helps kill them as well.Another tool that helps is a flattening Iron on the hair the heat should help. Hint get as close to the scalp as humanly possible.I was able to get rid of them in 4 days. But you need to continue with the shampoo for about 2 weeks. Just to insure it’s gone.Blow dry the hair every day!This was the second time we got them in 2 years. I will never use anything else again. It took me over a month last year. This was amazing!

When my family lived in Arkansas, we delt with head lice all the time. All the over-the-counter shampoos didn’t work. Then one day a teacher gave me this recipe for shampoo and I’ve used it ever since. I keep a prepared bottle in my bathroom for the “just-in-case”.

Head Lice Shampoo

Small Amount
2 tablespoons Tea Tree Oil
6 ounces Dawn Dishwashing Liquid (Dawn ONLY)
2 ounces white vinegar

Medium Amount
2 ounces Tea Tree Oil
12.5 ounces Dawn Dishwashing Liquid (Dawn ONLY)
4 ounces white vinegar

Large Amount
4 ounces Tea Tree Oil
25 ounces Dawn Dishwashing Liquid (Dawn ONLY)
8 ounces white vinegar

Mix the three ingredients in a large squeeze bottle, such as an empty dish soap bottle. Use as regular shampoo, leave on for about 5 minutes before rinsing. Use conditioner to soften hair and keep dandruff down. Tea Tree Oil may cause some dandruff, but the bugs will be gone. May use every day, and bugs are usually gone within a week. Be VERY CAREFULL not to get in eyes or mouth.

Ingredients = Cetaphil- gentle skin cleanser
white vinegar full strength
Instructions = My daughter is eight years old and we’ve been battling with her head lice for months. I’ve tried almost everything that money can buy and I’ll tell you, if she was a boy, she would deffinitely be bald! It’s been almost torment for the past few months for my daughter and myself. Then I read in the Woman World’s Magazine about a home remedy by a dermatologist for Head Lice. It works!!!Items you need: Cetaphil(mine was purchased at Wal-Mart), white vinegar, small or medium bottle that has a tip or comes to a point(such as those plastic ketchup or mustard bottles you can buy that come empty or something similar, this is optional- it does make it alot easier), spray bottle, a few towels, comb(s), hair clips, and slightly damp paper towels for disposal of dead nits.I actually used an old bottle that had hair dye in it where I just colored my Mom’s hair that day before. I just clean it out real good. You’ll need to place a towell around your child’s neck.First, fill the bottle with the Cetaphil. Then, section the hair off in four parts with clips. Start at the bottom first, try to layer out about an inch at a time starting at the roots. Make sure you saturate the roots real good. Then do the remaining hair. Then go to the next quarter of hair. When all of hair is done, go back over it and make sure it’s completely covered. Now, section off hair again and blow dry. I used a comb to help dry hair and hand towel to hold around ears so not to burn as bad. This drying took me about thirty minutes. I washed her hair twice and then towel dried it. I cleaned out that same little bottle and put full strength white vinegar in it and also in a spray bottle. You need a clean thick towel and a hand towel for the forehead.I had my child lean her head back while I applied the vinegar from the bottle, so it wouldn’t get in her eyes, ears, or face. I used the spray bottle for the back of her hair. I completely saturated her hair all over. She complained that it burned some, just like with the other treatments. I left it on forabout ten minutes. I washed her hair twice then put conditioner on it. It is truly amazing how awesome this has worked. The lice are GONE! The nits are even dead and they SLIDE right out, it’s unreal! One more thing, the combs that comes with the head lice treatments that you buy aren’t any good at all- metal or not, USE YOUR FINGERNAILS to pull them out!

Ingredients: Mayonaise
hair gel
water
black walnut extract
Instructions: Saturate the hair w/mayonaisse and cover with a plastic bag. I use a regular grocery bag, wrap it around my daughter’s hair, clipping in place with a regular hair clip. Leave in approximately one hour, heating w/a blow dryer (or sunshine on a really warm day) for at least 5 minutes. Rinse out the mayo then saturate hair w/regular, inexpensive hair gel to comb out nits, bugs, and eggs (please note nits are visible because they are hatched eggs; eggs are NOT usually visible to the naked eye because they turn the color of the hair, esp if it’s dark. Rinse the comb periodically into a cup which is white inside so you can see what you’re actually combing out. You may have to change the water often, but it’s worth it, esp if you have any trouble seeing at all. You can apply the mayo daily to keep the head lice free and/or apply the
gel nightly after the shower. My daughter’s hair is very thick so I would apply the gel after her shower then part the hair in 2 sections and braid it and let her sleep in it. This killed any that hatched from eggs I missed. Be sure to do other suggested additional cleanings like vaccuuming, washing the bed covers, etc.You can saturate possibly infested surfaces with disinfectant Lysol spray; ie. car seats, toys, pillows, beds, carpets, rugs, other furniture, cushions, etc. I found the best time to do this was when we could be out of the sprayed area for at least hour to allow ample time for drying. To repel lice, I have begun to use black walnut extract and water. A small bottle of black walnut extract can be found at an herbal store and is usually expensive, but you only need a small amount. In 6 months, we’ve only used 2 bottles of the mixture (that includes me using it to wet my hair for styling) You can purchase the best water spray bottles at a beauty supply store (like Sally’s), the others tend to leak. Add 15-20 drops of black walnut extract to 20 oz of water. I spray 2 squirts into her hair each day just prior to possible exposure like at school, church, etc. You can lift the hair and spray underneath or on top. It’s best not to overspray or the hair may become oily.

Hi, I was doing a lot of reasearch on head lice removersand I came across products with a substance known as lindane. It is highly toxic and should never be used on children.It can cause nerological damage as well as cancer. Please put this as a warning on the head lice remedies site. If you would like more information go to headlice.org.Thank you

——————————————————————————–

Hi – My daughter who is 5 just had lice and we found the coolest thing at Walmart that I would like to share with you. She has very long hair and I refused to cut it. We tried Nix numerous times and the lice just kept coming back…not sure if she was re-exposed or if we just didn’t get all the nits (even though we spent over 6 hours picking at her head).
So I tried numerous things, mayo treatment…vinager bath…nothing seemed to work. So we got some Tea Tree oil shampoo which was on your website and will always use that from now on and then found this comb.
The Comb is called LiceGuard Robi Comb — Electronic Lice Comb It states that it “Kills Lice WITHOUT Chemicals”You use it on dry hair. It takes a AA battery and you switch it on and it “will electronically kill lice while being harmless to the user.”It WORKS!!!! YEAH!!!The comb is well worth the $22.00 I spent on it. Please tell others about it! Thank you for all of your help. You provide an amazing amount of helpful information! You are an angel!

Country of Remedy: USA

Ingredients: NIX, olive oil, lice comb
Instructions: My daughter had beautiful long hair and came home with a horrible case of head lice. We treated her head the standard way with the over the counter NIX or RID, following all instructions. The next day we put on the olive oil, wrapped her head with plastic wrap and let it sit for 4 hours. (it was messy, vasiline would work as well without
the mess). This suffocates any remaining live bugs. After the time you wash that out with standard shampoo. No real need to comb it out..if bugs were there they are now dead and will rinse out. Then we searched her hair 2x a day for nits…a nit makes a bug!! a bug makes 6 more a day!! We simply removed these by hand with fingernails. On the tenth day after the orignial treatment we reapplied the olive oil. (Ten days allows for all left over nits to have haatched but does not give them time to reproduce) We found no nits or lice in her hair. (If you find more bugs, you missed some nits. Keep repeating the oilve oil every 2 days until clear).THis is a safe alternative to the chemicals in the lice medicines. Be sure to search hair with vengance looking for nits, once they are gone you will be ok. Also, dont forget to clean all hair brushes etc (boil them…or just buy new). Do all laundry in hot water…if it can not be laundered in hot water, place in dryer on high heat for 30 minutes. Vaccum house well, especially couches, under beds, car seats etc. You can buy the sprays to kill the bugs but this gets expensive. Adult lice die within 55 hours without being on a human head, baby lice (nymphs) die within 24 hours, and eggs will not hatch in temperatures less than 64 degrees (turn the air on or heat down) and if they do…they will die within 24 hours. Good LUCK!

Ingredients: Lice comb (perferably metal!)
Tobacco
Plastic wrap and/or wet towel
Hair products in general (prevention)

Instructions: My daughter was plagued with lice repeatedly… They just loved her and she got it several times and the store stuff really doesn’t work well. This is what we learned:First, if you can cut the hair as short as the person is willing (for guys shaving fixes the problem). Second, wash all bedding and make a tobacco wash of a few handfuls of tobacco in a large pot of water boiled and strained. Put it somewhere to cool while you do the next step. Next, comb out every egg and bug you can. I do this buy dividing the hair into four sections, pinning up the sections separately. Then, starting at the bottom of the section, divide out 1/4″ sections at a time and pulling the comb through it. I also look at though the hair in the light to see any I may have missed. I often use my nails to get the eggs that the comb misses (they work better anyway). Do this until every inch of the hair has been gone through. This is really the most important step in removing lice for any treatment, be thorough!!!! Now take the tobacco wash and thoroughly soak the hair in it. Let it stay on for about 10-15 minutes (plastic wrap and a warm wet towel can help with this.) Rinse. Repeat in one week. Run the lice comb through the hair (making sure to get as close to the scalp as possible) daily for a total of two weeks. (Not the whole dividing thing and all that, just run it through making sure to get the whole head.) Really, just comb, comb, comb! That is the most important thing. Two weeks is a pain, but it’s easy after the first one.I have also heard that rinsing the hair in vinegar after each shower helps kill the glue the eggs use to stick onto the hair.may help as well.

Ingredients: tea tree oil and olive oil
rinse with vinegar
lice comb
Instructions:
Mix 1/2 cup olive oil with 2 or 3 tablespoons tea tree oil. Apply to hair and rub into scalp. Leave on hair for 30 min. to 1 hr. Wash hair to remove oil. Rinse hair with vinegar (the vinegar loosens the “glue” holding the eggs and nits on your hair). Wait 5 to 10 mins and rinse hair with hot water. Repeat vinegar rinse. Always comb hair out with a lice comb to remove any remaining nits.
Wash bed linens, towels and clothes. Vacuum mattresses and fruniture. Don’t forget childrens stuffed animals and the car seats.Prevention: mix 4 drops tea tree oil with your daily shampoo and shampoo as usual.Don’t rely on the various shampoos that advertise tee tree, they don’t have enough in them.I have worked for 10 years at a large child day care center (which cares for 125 children each day).Believe me, I have a first-hand, unsolicited knowledge of head lice.But, for 7 years my family has been lice and nit free! I contribute it to the daily tea tree oil mixed in the shampoo, each morning.

——————————————————————————–

We have only had to deal with head lice once, that was enough! And I went balistic. Anyway, I got a list from the Dr. of things to do in the house. On that list was the use of Lysol brand disinfectant spray instead of the more expensive lice spray for spraying furniture, carpets, pillows, ect. after vacuuming. It worked! To this day I vacuum furniture then spray with lysol. It also kills fleas, we have dogs and although they don’t have fleas, I take no chances.

Ingredients: Shampoo and Conditioner
Instructions: You don’t need to use all those chemicals on your precious childs head!!!! We tried and it didn’t work! Just when I was about to make a trip to the doctor for help I sat down and thought about it. The grown-ups never seem to get it. Why? Because we wash our hair more thoroughly every day. I decided to try one last thing. I personally washed and conditioned my children’s hair every single day. I would simply saturate their hair with conditioner(being sure to work it onto the scalp everywhere)(the dollar-a-bottle stuff is all you need), combed it well while the conditioner was in, then rinsed. The lice washed right out with the conditioner. I couldn’t believe how many bugs washed out that first time. I knew then that this was all I needed to do. Children don’t wash thier hair as well as an adult. If you know there is an outbreak in your child’s school, simply help them with hair washing for a week or so. You really don’t even have to do it every day !due to the life cycle of headlice. Just be sure to do it again when the nits would be hatching(approximately 10 days). I prefer every day just to be safe.

My Daughter has lice and I’ve tried Lice Treatment and followed there directions but she still has lice. And I’m gonna try doing it again but is there any other good ways to getrid of lice?

OK, this sounds really gross (and truly, it is), but it’s the only way I was able to get rid of it when 4 of my kids came down with it (and the only way I could afford to).

Get a jar of mayo and completely saturate the hair with it. Pile on top of her head, and wrap tightly with a grocery bag. (Secure with bobby pins or clothespins). Leave on the head at least one hour. Shampoo 3-4 times to remove the greasy mayo. Comb through hair with a lice comb.

If you use this method, you will need to repeat 3-4 times every three days, as it will not smother all of the nits. In the meantime, try to keep her hair slightly “dirty”… contrary to what people tend to think, lice only like clean hair… the products that are put in hair make it hard for nits to “get a grip” on the hair and stay put. Put gel or hairspray in her hair every morning, to keep it from being too clean.

Treat everything else in your house… anything washable needs to be washed at the highest heat setting and dried at the highest heat, as well. Anything that can’t be washed needs to be tightly sealed in a plastic bag (trash bags work well) for at least 14 days.

Good luck! It’s a tough thing to get rid of, but with proper treatment, it will eventually be gone.

Don’t be nasty to the poor lamb; I LIKE the idea of Public Lice.

Mind you; it is a pretty dumb question. It’s as dumb as asking “Why did evolution give lions sharp teeth? This interferes with the survival of gazelles.”

can a child of 13 years have only 1 lice in his head? i know a person who he found only 1 lice in his head and he checked it with a special comb and he didnt found… so the quetion is can someone contain only 1 lice in his head?

Louse…one louse, many lice…he didn’t find…he never found but he didn’t find…people don’t contain lice…although that made me laugh so hard…thank you!

And yes, it’s possible. It may have only just dropped on there and not had time to lay any eggs. It means a person he was near has them though. He shouldn’t be checking his own head though…he’ll never get them out that way…he’ll have to get another person to check for him.

Head Lice are transmitted from person to person contact, including sharing bedding or clothing like hats, and can move along at a rate of 12 inches per hour. Transmission occurs most often when people are subjected to crowded conditions and thus infestation is common in families, dormitories, nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and other such institutions.

It is also possible to acquire a Head Lice infestation via inanimate objects, such as, contaminated items of clothing, hats, bedding, towels, combs and brushes, coats, scarves, and upholstered furniture. Lice do not jump or fly from one person to another. They move around by attaching their claw-like legs to hair shafts and pulling themselves along.

Lice are attracted by warmth and odor. They are dependent upon a human host for survival. Head Lice will die in about 48 hours without a blood meal from a human host.

Lice: Words to Know

Infestation: A situation in which large numbers of organisms come together in a single area. We suggest you disinfect with Benzalchonium Chloride to prevent re-infestation.

Lindane: A very toxic chemical used in the treatment of lice infestations. In many states, it is banned. There are other effective solutions available that are nontoxic. All StopTM offers these nontoxic solutions that work safely and FAST!

Malathion: An insecticide that is sometimes used in the treatment of clothing and bedding belonging to people who have lice. There are other effective solutions available at All StopTM that is nontoxic and pesticide-free!

Nits: The eggs produced by head or pubic lice. These nits are held by a glue-like substance on the hair shaft. Removing them from the hair shaft is usually difficult and nit combs are commonly used. Our LICEADEXTM doesn’t require the use of nit combs; it simply dissolves the glue ON CONTACT.

Permethrin: A medication used to treat Head Lice. All StopTM offers other nontoxic solutions that work safely and FAST!
