RE: Ants and grits lice and Rosemary

[Guest guest]

Hey, finally something I can give a suggestion on! I have been

lurking for so long that probably everyone forgot I was here. I have

been getting everyone else's advice on various things on the list.

 

Another one I found that works great on lice is tea tree oil. You

can add that to your shampoo, too. I do have a little girl, and it

works great! I have used tea tree oil in the shampoo as a

preventative and whenever she had an outbreak, I would rinse her hair

in a solution thyme and vinegar. I boil thyme in vinegar on my

stove. By the time it's done cooking, I have a quart of all organic

natural lice killer. And yes, the thyme and vinegar solution does

kill those little buggers!! It doesn't get rid of the eggs because

those like to cling to the hair shaft, so I follow up the rinse with

a good combing to get the eggs out. I also found out that if I

doused her head and my head with hairspray whenever I learned of an

outbreak, we wouldn't ever get the little buggers. It seems that

they don't like hair spray or dirty hair for that matter--its because

they can't stick to the hair and get in to the scalp so then they

leave you alone.
