Head lice

Ban it, murderer.

Hydraulic oil kills the eggs and the lice! You can tell I was dragged up in the farm workshop,  it never did me any harm -

My two picked up head-lice at school, one particularly bad, what we found was that hair conditioner (buy the cheapest) and nit comb worked but you need to treat everyone in the household. Short hair is easy to work with/doesn’t take so long. Comb through on days 1, 5, 9, 13 and on day 17 (everybody in house) in case eggs ate missed and have hatched. It’s head contact mostly that spreads nits and children often have heads touching if you watch them at play when young.

Tea Tree Oil shampoo can be cheap and effective.

Smells nice too. Also good for spots in a few years, well after the nits stage.

So does creosote. Love the smell and the tingle it brings to the skin ... ooh yummee. Bet its super effective against nits, fleas,worms and crabs.
