lice
I was asked the other day by a very frustrated mother about how to get rid of head lice. It’s a question I often get from parents who don’t want to use the chemicals available on the market and want a more natural way. I always say that the only true way to get rid of them, and I’ve had five children, is to comb every day without fail for two weeks. And don’t do what I once did while combing one of our children’s hair while watching TV; I put the nits I found into a glass of water to drown them and absent-mindedly drank the water, and all the nits with it.
I found this interesting article in the Guardian at the weekend which gives some great advice for those parents tearing their hair out. Wendyl.
