How to use kerosene for lice and nits

Pediculosis is the most common parasitic disease of the human scalp, found mainly in children. It is believed that this disease can be found in persons who do not comply with hygiene standards, but it is not.

Even with compliance with all standards of hygiene, you can face this scourge. In most cases, it is a contact with an already infected person and by means of infection can be the use of his things and objects, such as: towel, comb, barrette, brush, bed linen, carpet, animal. And a place where you can pick up the infection - places of mass gathering of people, such as preschool, summer camp and others.

The effect of kerosene on lice

More recently, kerosene was almost the only means to help get rid of lice. It is used today.

neutralThis substance is flammable, you must comply with heightened security measures. / neutral

Due to the fact that kerosene fumes penetrate into the respiratory organs of lice, and the chemical composition has a destructive effect on the chitinous membrane, the parasites die as a result of this treatment.

A little harder to cope with nits, but kerosene also has the desired effect on them:

1. The applied mixture neutralizes the properties of the composition, which ensures reliable fixation of nits on the hair.
2. The adhesive covering the eggs is broken down and the nits are easily combed out.

Even if the louse survives, she will try to get away from the unpleasant smell of kerosene, so you need to exclude any possibility of escape.

Features of the use of kerosene at home

Kerosene is dangerous not only for lice, but also for humans, so during processing it is necessary to strictly follow the recipe, methods and rules for handling flammable liquids.

Today, when in pharmacies without any problems you can buy a remedy for lice, people continue to treat lice with folk remedies. Despite the many side effects, kerosene is still in demand.

Compared with modern insecticides, its action is not limited to the impact on the nervous system of insects, but leads to rapid death from suffocation. The kerosene film blocks the access of oxygen and the parasites die.

For leather, kerosene treatment also does not pass without a trace. Possible side effects such as:

• Burns
• Disturbance of hair follicles.

As a result, the hair condition worsens. Improper use of the product can harm a person, so extreme caution should be exercised, especially when it comes to children.

Kerosene is used for different types of lice:

• From those who live on the head,
• From underwear.

But the method of application of the tool will be different. We will also tell you how to get head lice with kerosene on your head and give recommendations on how to clean the clothes of parasites at home.

Kerosene against nits

Eggs lice, which are called nits, will not die from suffocation, as a dense shell protects them from the negative effects of the environment. Theoretically, nits can be destroyed with kerosene, but this will require a high concentration of the substance and prolonged exposure.

neutral If you take nits and fill them with pure kerosene, they will die in a couple of hours. / neutral

Since not only parasites, but also humans are treated, it is impossible to use undiluted kerosene. A severe chemical burn with peeling of the skin is not a measure that should be paid to get rid of parasites.

The question arises: how to get rid of lice, so as not to harm yourself even more. Just have to do some gentle procedures.

Kerosene allows you to simultaneously solve several problems:

1. Adult insects die already during the first procedure.
2. A large number of nits are detached from the hair, some of them are washed off, some are combed out.
3. Those nits that remain on the hair become imago after a few days, but the smell of kerosene causes them to leave a not too comfortable zone.

The mechanism of getting rid of pubic lice is similar to the sequence in which the disposal of head parasites occurs.

Step by Step Method - How to Remove Kerosene Lice

First you need to prepare a solution that will process the hair. To reduce the aggressiveness of the tool, kerosene from lice and nits is diluted with vegetable oil. Oil protects the skin from burns, and hair from damage.

Tip: Aviation and tractor kerosene for lice control is better not to use. The composition of these mixtures include additives that enhance their aggressive effects on the skin and hair.

For the preparation of therapeutic mixture take:

• Kerosene,
• Any vegetable oil.

Proportions - in equal quantities, for example, 100 g of sunflower oil is mixed with 100 g of kerosene.

1. This mixture is applied over the entire length to dry hair. For application it is convenient to use a brush for dyeing hair.
2. Next you need to arrange something like a sealed chamber. For this, the head is wrapped in plastic and reconciliation is wrapped in a towel.
3. On the hair, the mixture is kept for 1.5 hours.

It is better to wash it off with soap, lumpy tar soap is ideal for this. After washing the hair should be rinsed with acetic water.

neutral title = "Acetic water" In 1 liter of water dilute 100 g of vinegar. / neutral

Now you need to do combing, as it is impossible to remove kerosene lice without this stage. The occupation is unpleasant and painstaking, so you should be patient and comb as many insects and their eggs as possible. To simplify the procedure, long hair can be slightly shortened. If the change of image is not included in the plans, then you will have to accept the fact that the procedure will not be quick.

Reprocessing

Usually, kerosene from lice and nits doesn't help at once. After 8 - 10 days you need to carry out another procedure. By this time, lice will hatch out of nits, but they will not have time to lay eggs yet. The second processing repeats the first one exactly:

• Application of the solution to the hair,
• Curing under film and towel
• Flushing
• Rinsing
• Combing out

Apply kerosene with oil with a cotton pad or gauze cloth. Each strand is soaked with this tool.

neutral With a strong burning sensation, the mixture is immediately washed off the hair. / neutral

A slight burning sensation, like a tingling sensation, is considered normal during this procedure. If there are no sensations, the processing time can be increased to 2 hours.

Men with facial hair are advised to either shave or do the same with a beard and mustache. For wrapping in this case it is convenient to use food wrap. It will hold better than regular polyethylene.

How to use in children

Children time of the procedure is reduced to one hour, while it is necessary to periodically check the condition of the skin under the shelter. If a child complains that he can no longer tolerate, the kerosene mixture should be washed off immediately.

Children's skin is very sensitive, so some children can not tolerate the application of kerosene. For them, it is better to choose another, less aggressive means. If there is such an opportunity, you should seek help from specialists.

There are cases when the child received a severe burn, followed by long-term treatment. It is much safer to purchase a special tool than to risk the health of your own child.

Body lice

Now that you know how to get rid of lice on your head, we’ll tell you about parasites that have settled in underwear using kerosene:

1. All contaminated clothes are put in a large basin and filled with water with kerosene.Components taken in the ratio: 10 liters of water - 1 liter of kerosene.
2. Underwear should stand in this solution for at least half a day, or even better - a day.
3. After that, you need to wash it thoroughly, and after drying, iron it.

Especially diligently iron out the seams, since it is precisely in them that the laundry lice are hidden. For greater confidence that absolutely all insects and nits will be destroyed, the steam supply function is used when treating the seams with an iron.

Prevention

If you do not want to use chemistry, there are medical combs on sale now that can help you get rid of lice and nits. There is one more tool, but it will not suit everyone. This is a haircut. No hair - no problem.

Lice do not look at what kind of life a person leads, what his wealth is and how carefully he takes care of himself. Even in the most exemplary school there is no guarantee that one day the child will not bring home parasites.

1. To prevent re-infection and to protect other family members from it, all things that come into contact with the patient's hair with lice are well washed, and if it is possible, they also boil. They can be soaked in a disinfectant solution.
2. You should never wear someone else's hats, and everyone should have their own comb.
3. In the public pool do not neglect the requirements to use a rubber cap. It will protect you from lice infestation.

If you do decide to apply kerosene for lice and nits, you need to know how to use it and follow all the rules closely. This will protect against skin lesions and prevent the agent from igniting. Do not carry out the procedure near an open flame!

How to use kerosene for lice: methods of removing parasites

Pediculosis is a serious psychological and physiological problem for children and adults.

With the development of medicine and pharmacology, doctors have learned how to effectively deal with the disease, new modern methods of dealing with various parasites have appeared, a real fight is being conducted in children's institutions, but the problem of lice is far from a final decision, and proven folk remedies have not lost their relevance.

When will this method of struggle

Lice are blood-sucking parasitic insects, the size is up to 5 mm, they are capable of rapid reproduction. On the head, its hairy part, lice can parasitize up to 45 days.

These parasites can provoke various skin diseases, they must be removed immediately upon detection. Parasites feed on blood and dead skin scales on the head. Depending on the location distinguish head, clothes and pubic. To derive each of them is quite difficult.

Symptoms of the disease appear within a few days after infection and are expressed primarily in very severe itching of the scalp. Also among the symptoms can be identified irritability, insomnia, various rashes. Derivation of parasites with kerosene is possible in all cases.

Complications caused by head lice are extremely dangerous, treatment with kerosene is better not to apply in the presence of pathologies such as:

• Chronic dermatitis.
• Lymphadenitis.
• Furunculosis.
• Sepsis.
• Secondary skin infections.

Why exactly this option?

Lice are sufficiently resistant to various special means, to get rid of them, we have to use combined methods of their destruction.

They learned to poison the parasites in ancient times, and already in the nineteenth century, people knew how to remove lice by this means. He was very actively able to use during the war against lice, because other means were not available.

How to remove kerosene lice, many grandmothers know. The method of preparation of this drug is quite simple: dilute kerosene with water and apply on the scalp for a certain time. You can use this tool as much as you need to get rid of parasites.

The main thing is to do it right. However, its use requires certain knowledge and care. Lice in the process of life lay numerous eggs. Each louse is able to lay up to 10 eggs per day, from which the larvae hatch within a week.

Kerosene is a strong insecticidal agent, its mechanism of action on lice is complex:

• Lice are killed by the choking effect of kerosene.
• It causes intoxication in parasites.
• If kerosene is used, asphyxia develops in parasites and spiracles are blocked.
• Being an organic solvent, it softens the chitinous cover of parasites.
• Lice do not tolerate the sharp smell of kerosene, it scares them.

Method of use

It is quite simple to bring out kerosene lice, it is the most affordable way, you only need to dilute kerosene with water, but you need to remember that this method has a number of contraindications, especially when treating children. In order not to harm the child and the treatment was really correct and effective, certain precautions should be observed.

Kerosene can cause skin burns if used, rubbing very intensely into the scalp. It is also possible irritation of the mucous membranes and respiratory tract.

It is important to strictly observe the exposure time (no more than 30 minutes), as well as the type of kerosene: in no case can you use automobile or aviation kerosene, as you can cause an instant scalp burn.

Before using kerosene, it is advisable to check the allergic reaction to it, for this you can dilute the kerosene and apply a little solution on the ulnar fold with a cotton swab and leave it for half an hour. If there is no redness or rash, the recipe can be used.

This method will get rid of unpleasant consequences. If an allergic reaction occurs, you should stop using kerosene and use a good anti-pediculosal shampoo purchased from a pharmacy.

To reduce the negative impact, you can use the following method: mix kerosene with regular shampoo and olive or sunflower oil, apply on the head and hold for 15-20 minutes. This recipe is particularly suitable for treating children.

The exposure time can be increased if lice and nits are found on the hair in large quantities. Keep the mixture better in the refrigerator. It is necessary to treat all family members to get rid of re-infection. How many times to carry out the procedure depends on the effectiveness of the treatment.

It should be borne in mind that kerosene adversely affects the condition and appearance of hair. If you keep it on your hair for a long time, it will lead to their discoloration and burning out; it affects the dyed hair especially badly, this indicates against the use of kerosene on women's hair. In addition, kerosene long retains the smell, which is very difficult to remove.

When removing lice and nits, you need to carefully monitor that kerosene does not get on the mucous membranes of the mouth and eyes, if this was not avoided, you should immediately wash your nose, eyes and mouth with plenty of clean running water.

Reviews of kerosene, as a method of removing lice and nits, are very positive, but sometimes it is necessary to enhance the effect of the use of this tool.So, it is strongly recommended to use special combs from lice and nits, which are sold in pharmacies, after hair treatment.

So bring the parasites will be faster. Using a comb, you need to repeatedly comb the hair. This will help to get rid of the weakened lice left on the head and parts of the nits stuck in the hair.

The use of such a comb is very effective. Physicians often oppose the use of kerosene in the fight against parasites, the decision to use it is taken personally by the patient.

The advantage of this method is that the patient's head can be processed at home. The arguments against the use of each patient takes into account at its discretion.

Removing lice and nits is not such an easy task, it takes time, and the procedure itself is not very pleasant. The duration of treatment depends on how many parasites there are on the head and how effectively different methods are used.

Treatment of lice folk remedies

Hearing the word "pediculosis", most people will think - what is it? But it is worth mentioning lice, everyone will immediately understand what is being said. These small bloodsucking insects are known to many.

Even the most clean person can not be one hundred percent insured against these parasites. Of course, the poor population and people who do not follow the rules of personal hygiene are most susceptible to this disease.

On the human body can parasitize 3 types of lice - head, pubic and ward.

The first type of lice chooses the scalp. These lice are small in size (up to 3 mm) and usually have a grayish-white color. Pubic louses (ploshchitsy) live in the area of ​​the hairy part of the pubis and genitals and have a size of up to 2 mm.

If you do not start to get rid of these parasites in time, they can multiply and settle on other parts of the body - in the armpits, chest, mustache, beard, eyelashes, etc.

Body lice are predominantly in the folds of clothes and bed linen. This type of lice is larger in size than head and pubic (up to 5 mm).

Those areas of the body that are most closely in contact with clothing and bedding suffer from their bites. This is the loins, scapulae, armpits, neck. On the human body, this type of lice is moved only to drink blood.

Pubic lice are transmitted during sexual intercourse, sometimes through bedding and other household items.

Symptoms of the disease

The most important symptom of pediculosis is severe itching. Head lice dominate the hair part of the head. Accordingly, the person will be disturbed by an itch in the head, on the back of the head, behind the ears. The presence of ploshchits will be indicated by severe itching in the pubic zone.

Lice species

• Head. As the name implies, they live in the hair on the head, in the mustache, beard and armpits. This is the safest species that does not cause the development of other diseases.
• Pubic. This species of insect settles in the pubic zone. If measures are taken in time, then they will not spread further; if they do not do it right away, they can move to the beard or to the armpits. They, like their brethren, feed on blood. If you get rid of their habitat, that is, hair, they will die out within two days.

What kerosene to use

Kerosene is a mixture of combustible carbon, produced as a result of oil refining. It looks like a clear liquid with a yellow tinge, has a sharp smell. About a hundred years ago, it was used to light up houses, to cook it, to heat it. Today, these functions have sunk into oblivion, now it is used only for fuel for rockets, as well as in some types of industry.

In the area of ​​lice, this product is very popular. First, it is effective, sometimes even more effective than expensive medications. Secondly, economically. The product helps both from the main and from the pubic insects. But he is very aggressive, because in its composition there is refined oil. You need not just wash their heads or other places, it is important to use it properly.

Most of all for removing lice fit clarified or technical product, but in no case aviation or autotractor kerosene can be taken. There are mixed foreign additives that may be hazardous to human health. Not only will you ruin your hair badly if you take such a remedy, but it can also penetrate the skin into the bloodstream or cause a burn.

Concentrated means in any case apply dangerous, it is best to dilute it with oil. In former times, of course, a pure product was used, but its mixtures with oils were used to fix the result. But today such tough measures come to nothing, it is better to use a diluted mass several times than to suffer from chemical burns and hair loss.

Application Methods

Another recipe is to put one spoon of kerosene in a bowl, three - honey, four - water and one - shampoo. It is best to act with a teaspoon, in this case, the resulting mass will be sufficient for treating hair of medium length. For very long ones, you can multiply the amount of each ingredient by two or three. After you prepare the mixture, take a cotton pad and apply it to the entire length of the hair, especially carefully go through the roots. The shag should be dry.You need to process not only curls, but also eyebrows, men have a beard, sideburns and mustaches. After the mask is evenly distributed over your hair, cover your head with a plastic bag or wrap, and then a towel. It takes about two hours to walk with her, the owners of soft skin - an hour.

When time is up, rinse your head under the tap with shampoo, then you can rinse it with water with lemon juice or vinegar, this will help to slightly repel the smell. Then take a special comb (they are sold in pharmacies) and comb their hair as carefully as possible so that you can remove the dead insects and their eggs from there.

Three days after the procedure, be sure to repeat it, but now use a mixture of a teaspoon of kerosene and fifty milliliters of olive or sunflower oil. Do everything as before, but keep the mask on your head for about an hour. If it burns very hard, enough for half an hour. After that, wash your hair with shampoo and a solution of water and vinegar. If you have a lot of lice, you will need three procedures, the latter will need to be carried out in the same way as the second.

Another recipe includes badger fat, honey, milk and, of course, kerosene itself. Mix three tablespoons of badger fat with 200 g of low-fat milk and three small spoons of kerosene. Add a couple of spoons of honey. Apply it on dry hair, wrap with a film and a towel, soak for at least half an hour. Wash off with water and vinegar. You can try to add to the mixture a few drops of essential oil, especially effective against the smell of lemon, orange or eucalyptus. You can purchase them at your local pharmacy.

Do not forget that it is not enough to treat only the hairy areas of the body, it is important to get rid of lice and nits also on bedding and clothes. Best of all, of course, throw away the infected tissue, but if this is not possible, wash them in boiling water with the addition of kerosene. If the fabric is too soft, fold it into a strong plastic bag and process it with a few drops of mineral oil. Furniture also needs to be processed: soak a cotton swab in the tool, apply all the furniture joints, the corners of the cabinets, the seams of the sofas, and so on. Do not forget to ventilate the room.

Is it safe to use kerosene for lice

In modern realities, kerosene from lice and nits is used extremely rarely. The reason for this is quite clear: if in the past there were almost no effective drugs against nits and lice, especially in the republics of the USSR, now there are a lot of them.

Kerosene for lice and nits - how to use

It is no longer necessary to destroy parasites with kerosene, which, moreover, is not safe during such exploitation. However, if there are no analogues, then you can get rid of lice and other hair parasites using this tool.

How does he act

Despite the seeming absurdity, treatment with kerosene for lice does work, although not without harm to the human body. This tool allows you to poison the lice and nits, expelling them or destroying.

Moreover, with the help of kerosene it is possible to get rid of other parasites of the skin and scalp, in particular, they can treat demodecosis of the scalp, but this is still not recommended.

But why is kerosene so effective in cases when you need to remove lice? There are several reasons for this:

• Lice die even after short-term contact with the mixture, as it passes freely through their chitinous shells and enters the respiratory system, causing suffocation.
• If the louse dies on contact with the mixture, it’s more difficult with nits.

Is it safe to remove lice in this way?

Although it is effective to remove lice with kerosene, it can cause damage to human health, although it is insignificant (in cases where the treatment with this mixture is carried out correctly). To begin with, the treatment with this mixture is quite dangerous in terms of toxicity.

Even if the treatment is carried out as correctly as possible and in compliance with all safety rules, burns of the skin can develop. The possible risk of burns can be reduced by reducing the amount of kerosene used in the treatment, but this does not always help.

The second problem is the sharp and eruptive smell of the mixture, which is very difficult to remove in the shortest possible time.

It can be expected that, after treatment with kerosene, a few more days the skin and hair will smell like it. Trying to create minimal proportions of kerosene is meaningless, the smell will be even when using a small and diluted amount of the mixture.

The third and last problem is harm to the hair. After applying kerosene, hair modification should be expected. They will become dull and brittle, and perhaps even a brief increase in hair loss, which, however, does not need treatment and will pass by itself.

In fact, using this mixture in treating a child for lice can create a lot of trouble. The fact is that the child’s skin is even more susceptible to the toxic effects of kerosene, which is why burns are not just not avoided in most cases, but they will also be stronger than in adults.

Moreover, penetration and prolonged contact of kerosene with the child’s skin is fraught with the development of chronic dermatitis (rosacea, perioral dermatitis, seborrhea), which will last for a lifetime and will require constant therapy.

Hair can also be seriously affected, which is especially unacceptable in the case of girls.

The version that kerosene can change the color and condition of hair for the rest of its life looks dubious, but the fact that these changes can remain for several months is quite real.

Modern medicine postulates: kerosene for the treatment of lice, nits and other parasites in children does not apply. To treat pediculosis and other parasitic diseases of the scalp in children, as well as in adults, you need specialized drugs.

What type of mixture is suitable

There are several varieties of kerosene, but you can use lightening to slay lice. This type of mixture is used to refuel classic kerosene lamps.

The remaining types of mixture are prohibited to use, as highly toxic and in some cases may even be the cause of death. It is important to note that even the most harmless type of kerosene - illuminating - should be diluted, since the highly concentrated mixture is very harmful.

Security measures

Before using this method of killing lice and nits, you should be familiar with the safety measures and recommendations that can reduce the risk of burns and other side effects of kerosene to a minimum.

The safety measures for the use of kerosene for the treatment of lice and nits are as follows:

1. When handling kerosene, it is important to remember that it is a combustible substance, therefore all medical procedures should be carried out far from the fire or devices that may spark,
2. This mixture is an allergen, and although kerosene allergy is rare, it can still occur, which requires pre-applying a small amount of the substance to the skin in order to detect the body’s response,
3. The occurrence of itching, dizziness or agonizing burning sensation when in contact with the mixture should cause the procedure to be immediately stopped and
4. Against the background of the use of kerosene, it is recommended to use other means of lice (preferably approved by official medicine), an integrated approach - a guarantee of the destruction of parasites,
5. After the procedure, you should thoroughly wash your hair, which will allow to significantly reduce the likelihood of burns and partially remove the unpleasant smell from the mixture
6. Plan out the entire procedure in advance, determine the exact time that will be spent on its implementation, and place a bowl of water next to it in order to wash your hair as soon as possible after the procedure.
7. When the substance is applied to the head of a child, it should be diluted in order to reduce the concentration (but it is better not to use kerosene at all to treat lice in children).

How to use kerosene to remove parasites

Much has been written about how to get lice out with kerosene. There are a huge number of ways to carry out this procedure, but we will focus only on one classical scheme that has high efficiency.

This scheme is simple:

• Moisten a cotton swab or disc with a mixture, and then use it to apply the product on the head (hair should be dried before the procedure begins!), Including using cotton wool over the skin.
• After processing all areas, you should put on the head a plastic bag or any cap that does not allow the substance to pass through.
• The question of how much kerosene to keep on your head does not have a definite answer.
  

On average, one hour is enough, at the end of which the mixture should be washed off as quickly as possible.

Let's consider how to use the correct kerosene from your home condition.

Types of lice and how to appear

On the human body can parasitize 3 types of lice - head, pubic and ward.

1. The first type of lice chooses the scalp. These lice are small in size (up to 3 mm) and usually have a grayish-white color.
2. Pubic louses (ploshchitsy) live in the area of ​​the hairy part of the pubis and genitals and have a size of up to 2 mm.

If you do not start to get rid of these parasites in time, they can multiply and settle on other parts of the body - in the armpits, chest, mustache, beard, eyelashes, etc. Body lice are predominantly in the folds of clothes and bed linen.

This type of lice is larger in size than head and pubic (up to 5 mm). Those areas of the body that are most closely in contact with clothing and bedding suffer from their bites. This is the loins, scapulae, armpits, neck. On the human body, this type of lice is moved only to drink blood.

Naturally, the appearance of all three types of lice in humans can be prevented by hygiene. But there are cases when cleanliness does not protect against such "guests". Head louse, for example, is easy to pick up when you try on a regular hat if you have been tried on by an infected louse.

How to use kerosene - not to harm the health

Pediculosis brings many troubles and disorders of the physiological and living standards of people. Pharmacology and medicine are developing rapidly, there are new drugs against blood-sucking insects. Many different remedies have already been invented, but there are proven recipes, such as removing lice with kerosene.

It is known that grandmothers and grandfathers, who remember the Soviet times perfectly, with the first symptoms of lice, removed them with kerosene. This is the production of distillation of crude oil, it is used as a combustible mixture. The composition includes liquid hydrocarbons. It has its own characteristics:

1. Transparent color,
2. It has a yellowish tint, but most often the mixture is colorless,
3. Oily,
4. It has a peculiar and sharp smell.

It is used quite widely, namely:

• as fuel
• combustible material in the manufacture of porcelain and glass products,
• as a heating and lighting liquid used for household appliances,
• as a material for the petroleum refining industry,
• analogue of diesel fuel
• as a solvent liquid,
• for getting rid of rust
• as a pest control against parasitic insects.

Our grandmothers and great-grandmothers quite effectively used it against pediculosis. This effectively helped them get rid of it at any (even neglected) developmental stage. A mixture with a huge effect on lice and nits.

Before other medical products, the liquid has several advantages:

1. Strong peculiar smell scares lice,
2. The chemical composition poisons pests,
3. Perfectly helps to tear the nits from the hair and allows for combing with a frequent comb.

Acts as follows: the components of a chemical nature destroy this insect, penetrate into the shell, intensively clogging its respiratory system. Louse ceases to receive oxygen and dies.

What explains the effectiveness of the use of fuel

All children in school or kindergarten should be prevented from lice. We rarely think that even the most clean and well-groomed child may be prone to pediculosis. If it is too late and the child caught the parasites, do not panic - there is an opportunity to remove the lice in natural ways.

A school, playground, clubs or kindergarten are some of the places where you can get pediculosis. This gives the child great difficulties and threatens health and communication, in addition, medications for lice contain toxic substances, which is very harmful not only for the scalp of the child, but also for the whole body.

Medicines for lice, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, are still manufactured using toxic ingredients. Almost all of them are dangerous to the child with frequent use or at a fairly young age. Before use, be sure to read the instructions and follow the instructions exactly.

Or resort to alternative - therapy with natural and safe methods of getting rid of lice. The abundance of various means of lice on the pharmacy shelves leads us to assume that this product is in demand, which means that head lice can be detected in each of us.

Treatment of pediculosis with kerosene has been used for decades.

In the middle and the end of the last century, it was not so easy to get a safe and at the same time effective pharmacological drug in pharmacies, and therefore folk remedies were very popular. Kerosene is a product of oil refining that has a toxic effect on living organisms.

When using this oily liquid, the effect of the destruction of parasites is achieved by the following mechanism of action:

1. Kerosene has a suffocating effect on lice, penetrating into their airways and clogging them. When ingested, intoxication develops.
2. The oily liquid dissolves the shell of the nits and thus contributes to their weakening on the hair. Due to this, the nits after processing can be easily removed by combing.
3. Kerosene scares off parasites with its strong smell.
4. This liquid can also be used to disinfect clothes.

Treatment with kerosene lice is rated highly, but this remedy is less and less used due to the large number of possible side effects. If you do not know how much kerosene to use, in what dilution and how long to keep on your head, then you can end up with more problems.

It is not recommended to treat with kerosene for people with allergic reactions, hypersensitivity of the skin, diseases of the respiratory system. The children's organism reacts especially acutely to the aggressive and toxic effects of kerosene; therefore, resorting to the use of this method of getting rid of lice and nits is necessary only in the most extreme cases.

After kerosene treatment, the hair is changed for the better. Oily liquid is difficult to wash off the head, the hair after it is badly combed, becomes dull and brittle. Not always with the help of kerosene, you can get rid of nits immediately.

In order to prevent the appearance of offspring of lice, nits will have to comb. Use kerosene effectively and against pubic lice.

To disinfect clothes into the water for washing add a few milliliters of odorous liquid and stretch things in hot water, followed by drying and ironing. But all the advantages of using kerosene have a significant negative - persistent odor, which is unpleasant to many.

The smell on the hair, clothes, in the apartment can be kept for several days after the treatment of pediculosis. If you decide to use kerosene to get rid of parasites, you need to know the basic rules and safety measures for applying this method.

Special care is taken with the use of different folk methods, if the treatment is carried out for children of different ages. To date, many anti-pediculosis drugs are produced and sold without toxic effects on the body, children tolerate their use well, and the desired effect can be achieved in one treatment session.

How to remove eggs lice

Instead of mayonnaise, you can repeat the whole procedure by taking petroleum jelly. It should be borne in mind that the only way to remove petrolatum from a child’s hair is to apply a large amount of baby oil on top and wipe the hair well with a towel or napkin and then thoroughly wring out the remaining oil.

After washing the hair and scalp with shampoo and hot water three times (the water should be as hot as the baby can withstand, but avoid burns).

Vaseline can be left on the hair at night, under the shower cap. However, you should not do this using mayonnaise, as it becomes toxic outside the refrigerator, and the child may brush his head during sleep and then put his fingers in his mouth.

If you do not trust the above remedies, you can give preference to natural lice shampoo, which is easy to prepare at home. Mix five teaspoons of olive or coconut oil with five drops of essential oil of tea tree, five drops of rosemary oil and the same amount of lavender oil, menthol oil and eucalyptus essential oil.

Rinse the hair thoroughly without conditioner or balm at this stage, as the mixture of oils will make the hair soft and manageable. Consider the following:

• Breathing a child under 5 years of age may be difficult when using eucalyptus oil.
• Menthol oil increases blood pressure and can be dangerous in hypertension.
• Menthol and rosemary oil is forbidden to use during pregnancy.Do not include them in the shampoo in this situation.

Removal of detected parasites using kerosene will be effective and as safe as possible if you follow several rules during the procedure.

1. For the destruction of lice is best to buy technical or lighting kerosene. These types of liquids have the lowest toxicity. For a one-time treatment is enough one cup of this tool.
2. Treatment is safer to produce diluted kerosene. To do this, two teaspoons of olive oil should be mixed with a spoonful of shampoo and a tablespoon of kerosene.

This washing liquid is applied to the hair, especially attention should be paid to the roots of curls.
