Lice prevention?

Please help my daughter has brought home her third note this year about lice being in the school. I so do not want to have to deal with it. Is there anything you can do to prevent a child from getting lice in the forst place. Thank you

Lice prevention?
Make sure she does not share anything with her friends like brushes, hats or scarves. Anything that could come in contact with someone else head. The school should be taking most of the preventative measures. The key is to keep her from sharing those types of items
Reply:We never had lice when we were kids and my hair dresser told me it was because my mom always rolled our hair with dippity do. She said, lice do not like chemicals on the hair. They LOVE clean hair. Her kids brought it home from school and her husband got it, they all slept in the same bed the night they brought it home, she never got it. She used gel and hairspray. I would put some type of chemical product in their hair every day.
Reply:Nix (permethrin 1%) is a cream rinse that has residual effect for 14 days. It is approved (in the US) for prevention of lice infestation. It is available without a prescription.





Also, since Vaseline is used to treat lice (in the eyebrows) I expect the hair gel idea would work, too.
Reply:Tea Tree can help repel lice because it makes the child 'invisible' to them, where they don't think the child is human so therefore stay away from them. You can find Tea Tree and other essential oils at your homeopath or health food store. You can also search eBay or your online Yellow Pages for 'essential oils.'





Stay away from chemical head lice treatments. No chemical head lice treatment is legally allowed to be labeled as 'safe' as every insecticide is a poison. Every pesticide preparation has the potential to do serious damage depending on the individual.





Read the articles at the following site and if she does catch them, try to find a natural remedy containing Neem oil as this renders the lice unable to breed therefore make it impossible for them to build up a resistance.





Good luck.
Reply:it has been shown conclusively, though not widely published that the poison in all the approved over the counter anti lice potions can cause blood and bone marrow disorders - i would never ever expose my children to this, please don't expose yours.





any potent essential oil apply regularly will do just as much to deter the living lice from taking shelter in your child's hair. however they may still get lice so you must KILL the lice and just as importantly remove the nits.





killing lice is easy. removing nits that they have bonded to the hair is more difficult.


however here is the super brew free of charge.


i have lived in the tropics for years, i am a long hair as are my children and my wife and many of my friends have the lice best friend .... dreadlocks.


no problem


take natural oil soap (bronners tea tree/lavender etc)and mix two thirds to one with castor oil


stir firmly until like unto whipped cream


set aside (this stuff coats the lice and opens their oil layer to invasion as well as suffocates them and makes the hair to slippery for them to hold)


in a pot combine water, a fat handful of organic cigarette tobacco(poison,poison,poison), a good bit of black pepper(irritant,poison), some pinches of Cayenne pepper(same as black), several mashed cloves of garlic(poison), crushed papaya seeds half cup or so or papaya enzyme - little(the enzyme is strong and can soften the protein glue on the nits -- as well as the hair if you put in too much). now cook the tea gently until the herbs have released then add the papaya toward the end - you don't want to cook that enzyme too much or it weakens.





now you let the tea cool until touchable and stir in the whipped castor oil soap mix then while warm this is massaged into the scalp all over the head, entirely coating the hair. then one plastic bag to seal in all that goodness for ... well you really want those bugs gone to as long as the kids can take it. then rinse it all out with warm water.





bye bye bugs and bye bye to your next generations.


that was easy and short of drinking the stuff -- which you could do to get rid of gut parasites -- nontoxic for the kids!!!!





also my friend with waist length dreads found me in the forest once and complained of the uku as we call them and i was not sure what to do but i comforted him saying something would come up to help. miraculously i looked in that moment under a nearby bush and saw a nearly full bottle of 151 rum that someone had left,lost, or stashed there. we found a plastic shopping bag in the same bush put on his head as he lay on his side and i then poured the rum in the bag and massaged his scalp and dreads well. he rest there for about 15 minutes until the rum started to go to his head and then we swished it around one last time and took it off. the bag was full of dead lice and nits and his dreads were not. lice finished.


they are not hard to kill. getting the protein to solve that hold on the nits is the big one and the industrial strength chemicals fail at that anyway -- that is why they give you that little comb - which the kids hate as much as the lice.


just don't use the industrial chemicals - please.


it is only because of a ppm calculation that the FDA approves those remedies --NOT BECAUSE THE POISON IN THEM IS SAFE FOR OUR CHILDREN TO BE AROUND!!!!!!!!!! DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!


i know of one woman that finally realized every time she applied that stuff to her five year old he had


a leukemia relapse starting with lumps at the base of his head -- she had been using since he was two and was in an out of cancer treatment centers for almost three years by then. she stopped the lice poison, the relapses never came back!!!!!!!


imagine her HORROR.





love and blessings to you and your family


please pass this on
