Lice-Get Rid of Them with No Pesticides on Your Child's Head

As a former retired public school teacher, I once upset a young girl and I have never forgotten this.

The Nurse at the school handed me a list to call out each child to go to the Nurse's office. I did not know why.

That small child came to me and cried. She said all of the children were teasing her about lice and she did not have it.

Head lice is very contagious. Look behind the ears of a child at the hair line. They look like very tiny small
white or beige dots.
They are hard to move. They stick to the hair shaft.


To get rid of them wash the hair in very warm-almost hot water and rinse well. Then use a blow dryer or put oil on the hair.
Head lice cannot live in hair that is a little bit dirty. This will save the child having to buy a medicine that is a pesticide and poison on their head.


Body lice and pubic lice need a doctor to treat.

Use a plastic mattress cover to prevent bed bugs, blood stains and lice.

Wash your sheets and the dryer should kill bugs and germs. Just make sure you empty the lint tray or you can start a house fire.

Have a smoke alarm with good batteries. I was in a house fire. Most happen while everyone is sleeping.
