Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Heather, can you be more specific about the eucalyptus oil...how did you use it as so not to kill the insects and their eggs? Did you dilute it? Spray it? That's actually something I have a lot of in my house (eucalyptus oil that is). Evita, as far as the thing we call precaution using citronella oil, I don't like putting products on my son unless completely necessary...even natural ones...there aren't any longterm studies on their effects, and they can still be toxic and irritating. I use a citronella-based mosquito repellant when I have to, and it's effective, but has a strong odor. We wash it off as soon as we come inside. But thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Dear Sadie, my compassion for lice reaches to the extend that I won't be the one to terminate their life. But what they will do with it it's their own problem. Peace for all who live Evit@-Greece , " Sadie " <iammykidsmama wrote: > > Please don't think I am being rude, I am truly curious.
