My daughters both got a mild case of lice, a couple weeks ago, we treated it, and thought we got rid of it. now today i found 1 bug in my youngest daughters hair.
I know how to treat it, and know i have to wash everything, but does anyone know how to make a treatment from home? something to spray the bedding, and carpets. i used the nixx treatment on her, but is there something else?

i sprayed EVERYTHING, there was no sign of them for 2 weeks. I have combed and combed, but i still find them, the egs will not come out with the comb. i have to use my nails. I am SOOO STRESSED.
We just moved so everything is in boxes, do i need to do all that too? or just the stuff she has touched?
someone told me there is a new sort of treatment the dr. can give, that is like an antibiotic, does anyone know????

Treatment #1
Combine 1/2 teaspoon each of eucalyptus, pennyroyal and rosemary. Then add 2-1/2 tablespoons of pure olive oil. An adult needs to try the mixture on his own skin first to make sure it doesn't burn. If it does, add more olive oil.
After washing your child's hair with very hot water (as hot as the child can stand), comb the oil mixture through hair with a regular comb (the throw-away kind). Then using a flea comb, comb out any nits or eggs. Tie a cotton scarf around your child's head and leave on overnight. It may tingle; if it burns, wash it out immediately, dilute the mixture and try again.
The next morning, wash your child’s hair with a good tea tree shampoo. This should take care of the lice; however, repeat the treatment if necessary. To prevent lice (when it has been reported in your child's school), rub tea tree oil or sassafras oil into the scalp.
Treatment #2
A natural alternative to killing head lice is to use mayonnaise. Cover the entire scalp and hair with mayonnaise, cover with plastic wrap and leave on about half an hour. Shampoo and remove all the nits or eggs.
Treatment #3
For best effectiveness, use a safe, pure soap like Botanic GOLD™ (not Botanic Insecticidal Soap) and carefully follow the directions below. Every step is important.
On a dry head, start at the nape of the neck along the hairline and apply soap around the head, saturating the hair as you go. Move toward the crown, where the hair is tied up. Remove the clips or ponytail and continue to apply the soap, using enough to completely saturate the hair.
Massage the head, work into a lather and then comb through the hair to ensure complete coverage (use a metal, regular-toothed comb). Wrap or tie the hair back up on top of the head. Wait 30 to 40 minutes, massaging the hair every 10 minutes or so. Do not rinse or allow to dry. Reapply if necessary to keep moist.
The next morning, wash your child’s hair with a good tea tree shampoo. This should take care of the lice; however, repeat the treatment if necessary. To prevent lice (when it has been reported in your child's school), rub tea tree oil or sassafras oil into the scalp.
Sanitation instructions for all treatments
Lice are highly contagious and it is extremely important that they be eliminated as quickly and completely as possible. When lice are first detected, it is wise to launder everything with which the infected person has come in contact. Use hot water and a non-toxic liquid soap. wash (in hot water) bed linens, towels, clothing, hats, brushes, combs, scarves, coats, toys, upholstered furniture and anything else she comes into contact with.
Things that cannot be washed should be vacuumed and/or sealed in plastic bags for two weeks.

I used real mayo on my whole family back when we had the problem. I slathered mayo on everyones hair, wrapped up the hair in plastic wrap and left it sit for 4 hours. This was rec..by the school nurse. It worked like a charm. I sprayed the entire house and vaccumed all the furniture then threw out the bag. Any thing that could go into the dryer for an hour did. Anything the couldn't, went into a trash bag, tied off and stored for 3 months. I never had a lice problem again. You may want to make sure your daughter keeps her hair up at all times she is in contact with other children. Pony tail or braids usually work best.

ok you use the nixx now you need to buy a lice comb or even a dog or cat tick comb. and have a gray constuction paper ant comb then out on that first and pop all those eggs and bugs. then your going to have to go through thier hair almost strand by strand to get it all. also, where ever she got it from has to be cleaned, another child maybe.

Did you spray your couch, matresses, carpets? If you did not spray every single thing in the house that has fabric you cannot effectively get rid of all of the eggs. You also have to wash all the pillows. Most pillows will tell you on the tag if they can be machine washed or not. And all combs and brushes need to be boiled in rapidly boiling water.

it is determined by how so much built you're. sixteen is style of past due to be "simply establishing" however it's viable. have you ever had a rainy dream but? if no longer,your frame would no longer be capable for this. you'll e mail me should you desire to speak about youe detailed trouble however right here is a few fundamental recommendation. there's a muscle among yolur legs, should you peniis is like part rough you'll make it stiffer via tensing this muscle. you have to nerve-racking this muscle whilst you stroke. nerve-racking and stroke for 10 to twenty seconds, then loosen up a couple of sec, then repreat. pace approximately a million to two strokes in step with moment. then should you begin to believe a tingling, or such as you have to pee, then do not quit, begin stroking as quick as you'll for so long as you'll, and that perhaps sufficient to push you over the threshold to climax. desire this is helping.
