CHEAP WAY TO GET RID OF HEAD LICE THAT DOCTORS WON’T TELL YOU
All parents know how lice can be annoying. They are contagious and sometimes difficult to remove. Head lice are small, wingless insects in human hair and feed on blood sucking form the scalp.
They usually occur in children in school, boys and girls, but girls are more prone to these parasites. Although they are not dangerous, a single bite can cause itching and the scalp becomes inflamed.
This can lead to irritation and infection. There are numerous lice shampoos and similar products in the market, which tend to be inefficient and expensive. Sometimes, they can cost more than $ 100. Many parents use various treatments and spend hours combing and checking their kids hairs, and at some point realize that everything is useless and try to find some other way to finally get rid of these pesky parasites.
Fortunately, there are a healthier alternative that can help eliminate lice from your hair children.
