Treat Lice with Mayonnaise and Plastic Shower Caps
Keep Harsh Chemicals Off Your Children’s Scalps Lice. That dirty word!!
I have had one occasion to have to deal with this with my children, when one of my kids brought it home with her from school and passed it to two of the other kids. My kindergartener (at the time) had said her head
itched and I didn’t think too much of it until she said it again a couple days later. So I took a look at her head. ICK! Lice – eggs and hatched buggers running around like her head was a playground.
After my initial creepy crawlie reaction, I got to work (after pulling my hair into a pony tail every day to make sure they didn’t have lots of opportunity to jump on my really long strands). I tried SO many things too for my kids. I washed all their bed linens and clothes and put all their stuffed animals in garbage bags (sealed tight). For their hair, I didn’t want to try chemicals at first. I tried vinegar, letting it sit on the head for a bit before rinsing. The kids hated that. It didn’t work completely. I tried Pepsi, dousing their head with a two liter. The kids hated that too. It didn’t work enough either. I did olive oil with tee tree oil, having them sleep in it overnight. Nothing was working!! During all of this, I did the combing the hair with the nit combs. Those silly combs would leave nits behind, though they were picking up the more mature insects. What are they called nit combs for? Then, I did something I didn’t want to have to do – went to chemicals. I tried the over-the-counter chemicals with combing. That didn’t work. I tried it again after the required time frame (didn’t want to fry their skin). Still we had lice. The pediatrician was going to prescribe a prescription strength treatment, but there was one more treatment I wanted to try first before I resorted to prescription strength chemicals on my children.
