  • Peppermint castile and tea tree oil... done and done!

  • Saxwen 1 I got them in the Philippines too cause I was there to see my mums family and my cousins for about 3 months and boy do they itch!! But mine are gone hooray!!!!

  • Like if you scratched your head once during the video... xD lol

  • i just picks 'em off and eats 'em.

  • I have lice from outta no where!

  • Lice cannot live off a human scalp for more than 24 hours. Bagging stuffed animals for 2 weeks is ridiculous!! Put them in the dryer for 30 minutes. Concentrate on combing with a proper nit comb for two weeks and stay away from the pesticides.

  • @snowinowen4 lice love thick hair, they can survive better in thick hair, just harder for you to find them. better go check your head.

  • If u find an egg or anything put tape on it so y can look at it an show ur parents/ doctor and they die because of no air. I have head lice and I have to get the expensive stuff because they r not going away....:/

  • You know what I don't understand...

    Practically my whole childhood I had lice on and off. Worms too. I'm sure loads of you are going EWWWWW at that, but it's true, and my parents worked really hard to rid me of them, but they kept coming back.

    But now I am an adult... never have lice. Never have worms. Why. I mean, in the case of lice, my immune system doesn't even really do much on the surface of the skin outside the body does it?

    I just wonder why I only seemed to get parasites as a child.

  • @puppygirl4ever1 It got rid of them, but I wish I didn't go this extreme. It will be a few more months till my hair looks less like a man's.
