[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 65864, member: 1233"] After our last bout of lice, which was HORRIBLE, I looked for a solution that was easier on my kids and myself. I, lucky me, am very allergic to the pesticide in the lice treatements. And of course this means that I am the one who has to treat all lice bearing children. I discovered an organic pesticide called NEEM oil. It is very thick and has a strong odor. I mix a teaspoon of Neem oil with shampoo and wash the child's hair (and this is for J's very thick long hair). I let it sit 30 minutes, rinse, put conditioner on and use the lice comb. This stuff WORKS!!!!!!! On the second night we had very few nits. This stuff is used as an organic pesticide, sprayed over crops. It is what is in some of the expensive products advertised on the internet. It prevents the nits from maturing. I comb every night for 14 days when they bring home lice. But with this, it is more of a pleasureable hair comb for my kids. It was cheaper for a bottle of the oil straight off of ebay than for the traditional lice treatment. And the bottle will last us a long time because we don't need to use a lot. Susie [/QUOTE]
