I'm not sure if it got rid of his lice problem. Perhaps. But > don't quote me on it. Thanks for sharing that. I've heard of a child's death due to use of a volatile like kerosene or gasoline. They had even washed the child's hair after treatment but it still caught fire when the child got close to a small flame. PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT Use Volatiles in the treatment of lice:( I'm sorry I know of no treatment for Dreads other than cutting them. There are a variety of natural treatments folks have told me worked for them using some combination of oils, vinegar and other household items. They may or may not work on Dreads.,, There is a wealth of info on the Net regarding them. Just type into your search engine Head Some points to keep in mind about lice: -they crawl they do not jump and are transmitted via close contact with an infected person. they will not live on any other animal. -the adults must feed every few hours and usually die. if not on a not on a human being, they usually die within 24-48hrs but have been shown to survive off a human being up to a week. -they do not drown easily, surviving many hrs under water -they lay eggs (nits) on hair shaft close to the scalp which are white in color and are glued almost solid onto the hair shaft. the nits look like dandruff initially but are not easily removed and can be felt when you run your fingers over them. -nits get darker in color tan/beige when they are ready to hatch within 7-10 days after being laid. -after treatment to kill the adult lice the hair should be combed with a fine tooth comb and checked to remove any remaining eggs(nit picking) -treatments should be repeated in 7-10 days to kill any lice that have hatched from eggs that were missed initially. This is why removal from Dreads is so difficult. You can't actually kill the eggs. Manual removal of the eggs is the only known way to clear the scalp of them and the adults easily escape treatments by hiding deep in the dreads. |
