At a speed of 35 cm / min, the parasite crawls from one object to another. That is why in schools and preschool institutions pediculosis spreads quickly.

In addition, a patient with a pediculosis does not sleep much, combing the bitten areas in the hope of crushing the bloodsucker and getting rid of itching. But this is an impossible task, because lice, like all parasites, are rapidly growing .

Their eggs, called nits, cling to the roots of hair with a sticky substance.

After 10 days, the nit becomes a larva of , which after a week turns into a new adult( up to 5 mm in length).

To eliminate lice, war with them must be fought on all fronts:

  • the usual hygiene procedures, alas, will not help.

Withdraw pubic lice

These bloodsuckers, claws and increased tenacity, resemble tiny crabs, tightly holding the hairs of the triangular section in the pubic and anal areas, under the armpits, on the chest and stomach.

On the head, parasites do not live :

  • their limbs are not designed to move around the hairs of the round section.

As a rule, insects migrate to another person during intercourse, less often - they are transmitted through:

  • bathrobes,
  • towels,
  • washcloths used in public baths and hotels.

From infected eyebrows and eyelashes lice remove by hand or tweezers. On the pubis and other parts of the body, just shave off the scalp.

The destruction of insects involves total disinfection( chemical or thermal) of mattresses, bed linen, upholstered furniture and clothing. It can be:

  • Washing in very hot water( boiling).
  • Freezing outdoors( in winter) or in the freezer.
  • Steaming.
  • Exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Putting things in a vacuum, for example, in a plastic bag.
  • Spraying with MediFox or A-steam.

The final step should be a complete disinfestation of housing.

We eliminate head parasites

Against these parasites, a lot of pharmacological drugs offered in the pharmacy network have been developed.

The people for many years of local battles with lice invented their effective recipes.

Auxiliary tools necessary for any method of insect removal are a hair dryer, a comb with frequent teeth, tongs, a comb with a weak current and a magnifying glass.

Not every organism tolerates active chemical components present in plant sprays and shampoos. These drugs can not use:

  • allergies;
  • children under 5 years;
  • pregnant and lactating;
  • asthmatics;
  • patients with skin diseases.

Many refuse chemistry for reasons of principle, believing that folk remedies are harmless and effective.

Oils against pediculosis

This product blocks the way of oxygen:

  • insects can not breathe and perish.

Any vegetable oil:

  • olive oil( use and harm, how to take),
  • mustard( about the use of hair oil is written here),
  • corn,
  • sunflower( find out about the composition of unrefined here).

They abundantly missed their hair, wrapping them with film, for two hours. The oil has a dual function - it clogs the respiratory tract of the parasite and facilitates combing out at the end of the procedure.

Tea Tree Oil

To prepare a medicinal mixture, you will need:

  • 30 ml of alcohol( medical);
  • 25 drops of oil;
  • 20 ml of water.

Everything is mixed and applied to the head.

The hair is covered with a film, rinsing after 2 hours with shampoo.

The lice are combed with a frequent comb.

The procedure is repeated until all insects are removed, bearing in mind that the oil does not kill them, but temporarily paralyzes them.

Geranium oil

It is believed that the bloodsuckers are afraid of the peculiar aroma emanating from this flower.

Several drops of essential oil are combined with burdock, apply the composition to the hair, wrapping it with polyethylene. Wash off with shampoo and comb out nits.

Also oils of geranium and tea tree can take essential oils:

  • peppermint,
  • lavender,
  • plantain,
  • cypress,
  • rosemary( about the medicinal properties and contraindications is written here),
  • lemon,
  • calendula,
  • sage,
  • cloves and agave.

Acid and phytoncides

Cranberry juice

The acid present in the berry dissolves the "glue" , with which nits cling to the hairs, and cranberry juice is saturated with elements that adversely affect insects.

Two handfuls of mashed berries are mixed with natural honey so that the mixture is enough for one application. The procedure is reusable:

  • it is repeated for several days before the disappearance of nits.

Immobilized parasites are combed.

Peppermint and pomegranate

This method will not only lead out bloodsuckers, but also heals the head:

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  3. A filtered and cooled solution is applied to the head, then wrapping with a film.
  4. Hold for 5 to 8 hours, wash hair and comb the parasites.

In the third step, to increase the effect( if desired) add mint oil.

Lemon juice

It is used in the same way as cranberry juice, but because of its greater "wateriness" it is considered less effective.

Juice of garlic and onion

If you are not afraid of the characteristic garlic-onion aroma, spread the hair with this compound and do not rinse off for several hours, wrapping the film.

It dilutes the nitricidal membrane and kills adult parasites .

After washing your head, scrub the lifeless insects.

Apply this method, follow the reaction of the epidermis so as not to burn it.

Black cumin

Its crushed seeds are added to apple cider vinegar before the formation of gruel, which is applied to the head.

Then for half an hour they go out to the yard or to the balcony, so that the exposed hair gets direct sunlight.

So do a few days in a row. Each session ends with a combing.

Infusion and decoction

Root elektrosila

You can use both fresh and dried raw materials( medicinal properties of the roots of elecampane).

Proportions themselves: the more saturated the solution, the better.

  1. Grass and roots are dropped into boiling water for at least an hour.
  2. Filter, cool and smeared with infusion of hair.
  3. Withstands up to 8 hours, wrapped around the head with a film and a warming hood.
  4. Wash the mixture and comb the parasites.

Bakery broth

Root roots( useful properties) or fruits( dried or fresh) are thrown into a bowl with boiling water.

After 60 minutes, filter and wash the hair with liquid.

The procedure is repeated every day until the final crackdown on bloodsuckers.

Cosmetic preparations

Tar soap

Wet hair is abundantly soaped with tar soap( use for hair), covered with polyethylene and a textile cap.

Soap foam is washed off not earlier than the clock after 5-8.

The nid is combed.

Hairspray

They are abundantly sprayed with hair to leave for the night under a film and a warming hat.

Liquid silicone should insect the access to oxygen and cause dehydration of microorganisms.

Termination of air and moisture is detrimental to lice and nits.

Hydrogen peroxide

This reagent can be recommended only to blondes, since it not only kills bloodsuckers, but also deprives the hair of the natural coloring pigment.

Paint for hair

There is an opinion that parasites are combated by a caustic component of paint - ammonia. Nuances that need to be considered before painting:

  • persistent paint damages the hair;
  • chemical reagents harm the dermis;
  • you do not want to change hair color.

If these details do not confuse you, fight with evil spirits with the help of a resistant paint. Remember that combing the dead nits will take at least two weeks.

It is important to know

There are other methods of removing lice. Despite their popularity, they are not safe for health:

  • Kerosene is a toxic substance. It can provoke allergies, poisoning and skin rashes. Affects the structure of the hair, making them greasy.
  • Table vinegar - causes excessive brittleness and dryness of the hairline. It leads to a burn of the epidermis and dermatitis.
  • Tansy flowers - Apply decoction, consider its toxicity and avoid contact with mucous membranes.
  • Ledum - use with caution because of the increased virulence of the plant.
