Lice and You

This is where we will cover how to remove these nastly little parasites from your life.

Lice are those sick and twisted creatures that you'd swear were lesser forms of evil that got stuck in parasite form.

Supplies:
Flea comb (The kind used on cats)
Cat flea and tick shampoo
Tea tree oil
-Or-
Miracle whip
Plastic bag

When it comes to your hair:
Cat Flea and Tick Shampoo
When used as directed it will cause them to become imobile leaving you to pick them out freely with the flea comb which will drastically reduce their numbers every time it's done until they no longer exist.

Tea Tree Oil
Use this along side of the cat flea and tick shampoo, it repels lice.

Miracle Whip
Basically, smother your hair in it everywhere, place a plastic bag over your hair for twenty minutes and then wash it out. The lice will be dead, but your hair will smell like it for usually about two weeks.

About lice shampoo's:
The reason that I'm not advocating any particular brand of lice shampoo is because I've found that unless your hair is a certain length (Short) and has a certain thickness (Thin) it wouln't work. It will only serve to leave your hair feeling greasy beyond all measure with the little bastards still inside.

Things to remember:
1) Change your pillow cases daily.
2) Clean any where your hair might touch. (Couches, hats, shirts, etc)
3) Try not to transfer them :(.
