What is the best way to treat lice?/@whatifshow
Have the lice returned to your children's head recently?
You're not alone.
Experts on the subject in New York claim that lice have "resurrected" in the past year, but "this year the phenomenon is more serious than ever", confirms Adrian Pickney, an expert on the subject from the center for the treatment of lice in New York.
The pessimistic forecast of the experts claims that this evil scourge affects a larger population of children than in the past, with the estimate in the US speaking of between 6 and 12 million children between the ages of 3 and 11 being infected with lice. And in Israel? Statistics show that 75% of children in Israel have been infected with lice At least once in their lives.
First of all, what is a louse?
The louse is actually a parasitic insect that lives only on the heads of humans. It lives there all its life and feeds on blood which it sucks by piercing the scalp four or five times a day. Contrary to what may be commonly thought - The louse doesn't fly, doesn't leap, and doesn't swim. It just moves and goes from place to place. This little parasite feeds on the blood of the person it lives on, and it has no ability to exist outside the body it treats. Therefore, the infection is made during contact between two heads when one head is infected This is why many parents, grandmothers, kindergarteners, etc. frequently get infected with lice.
Does your child suffer from head lice?
There are solutions/ShutterStock
So much for the gloomy forecast and now, what is the solution?
Well, many people go back to the "sources" and prefer to treat the problem with old-fashioned remedies like smearing their children's little heads with mayonnaise or vinegar, or sending them to bed with their heads dipped in olive oil.
And there is also an old-fashioned grandmother's medicine.
In the not too distant past there was a wonder drug that was used by almost everyone against lice - petroleum.
But this is the most dangerous myth of all.
The practice of using oil against lice began in the days of the Second World War, and unfortunately exists for quite a few people to this day, but this is a very unrecommended old medicine.
Kerosene can cause skin burns and even chemical pneumonia. Not only is its use dangerous, but it is completely prohibited and every year we witness hospitalization cases of children treated with kerosene.
