[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 93938, member: 1233"] A lot of the Natural treatments I read about contain Neem oil. I bought some after our last round of lice. thank you has really thick wavy hair and with the Sensory issues is SOOOO hard to treat. I have had lice laugh at every commercial treatment, at mayo and just about everything else. I use about a tablespoon of neem oil and the same amount of conditioner in wet hair. I let it sit for 20 minutes adn all the nits come right out with no pulling. There are never any that hatch, the NEEM is an organic oil that is supposed to kill most pests, including lice. It is used as a pesticide on organically grown crops. We have had best luck with that and the black garbage bags. I find that it is a good exuse to get some of the stuff OUT of the kids' rooms. They never remember until I either open the bags wondering what they are, or unitl I pull the bags out for a garage sale!! Kids get the $$ from their items, so they usually agree that the item can go. Hugs on the lice. I have been using the neem for the last year and had good luck with it. I got it on ebay after doing a lot of research and talking with a family friend who is an entomologist. He said he uses NEEM oil on his grandkids when they get lice. Couldn't get a better recommendation, in my opinion. And marg is right about the obsessive house cleaning. It makes the house cleaner, but the lice don't really care. I do vacuum the beds, but that is because it makes ME feel better. Susie [/QUOTE]
