Met nephews after the summer camp. I was driving in my car, then we stopped in to eat ice cream, and two days later I began to notice that my head was itching. In the mirror I saw glittering bubbles in my hair and understood with horror - nits! How to go to work like this? What will my colleagues think? On the Internet, I found the top of the best tools for pediculosis. Ran to the pharmacy - the benefit is very close. Bought shampoo Paranite. There was a comb in the box, which pleased me, since I had forgotten about him. I did everything according to the instructions. Itching stopped. Only one thing is inconvenient - it is hard for you to comb the nits yourself. And since the tool is wonderful - it does not smell and does not sting. I bought two more bottles and brought my sister to remove lice in children.

The one of the parents who will swear that he does not know what lice and nits look like - will lie. Our little fidgets, where they just don’t climb, with whom they don’t, so these “presents” are no no no and bring home. I found nits at my Arsyusha. Lice did not see the living, but decided to treat a good remedy immediately from everything. Bought Spray Lavinal Prevention and Lavinal Shampoo. One day I treated my head with shampoo. A few days later - spray. The son didn’t really scratch himself, but then he checked his hair - all the nits disappeared even after shampoo. But for safety net I use spray. the instructions say that the lice will be afraid of the smell, and will not crawl. We'll see. While pleased with the result.

Always believed that lice - it is the homeless and sluts. And then she came for the daughter in the garden and like a head on the head - you have pediculosis! Where to run, what to do? At home, another daughter - a schoolgirl. She dragged the little girl to her mother, since she is close to the kindergarten. While she was rushing, she jumped into the pharmacy and bought the drug for which there was enough money - Medifox. It was written in the instructions that for any age. The little girl fought back and screamed while her mother rubbed her.The smell is nasty, but after washing the head - disappeared. By the way, along with lice! Combed hair, revised several times - no! Lice and nits disappeared. Now use as prophylactic from pediculosis lavender oil.

Son brought lice, do not believe where from - from the pool! I never would have thought that this crap is not afraid of water with bleach. Naturally they said that until I got rid of it, I would not come. He was silent for several days — he was afraid to say it until everyone began to itch. He is well-shaved bald and everything was used to soothe the itch. tar soap. And my daughters have long hair. I had to flee to the pharmacy and buy expensive remedies for pediculosis. Bought a pair of spray Plus. Has processed all and even the cut-down son. I can not say that it helped the first time. Probably very long hair - saved on the drug. But the second time it was possible get rid of lice and nits completely.
