Replace Your Head Lice Treatment With This Non-toxic Oil

Head lice have been causing extreme discomfort to children and adults for a long time and are so common because they are highly contagious. People often think that only individuals that are dirty have lice, but that’s not the case. The truth is that the cleaner a person’s hair is, the easier it is for them to catch lice. Since people have thought for so long that a person infected by lice is unclean, it’s very embarrassing for anyone that has head lice to admit it.

Lice are very social parasites that love to multiply and suck blood from their host. They usually feed about 4 or 5 times a day. They do this by finding a spot of skin and injecting it with saliva. The saliva keeps the blood they suck from clotting allowing it to flow freely while they feed on it.

Nits are louse eggs from which nymphs hatch. Each nit is firmly attached to a hair shaft with a cap-like structure. After about a week, nymphs will appear from the nits. They are not an adult louse until they go through three stages of molting. When they become a louse, they are ready to start searching for a suitable mate. Once they have found their mate, they will copulate frequently.

A typical female louse will lay between 50 and 150 nits during her 4 week life span with 60% of these being fertile. A female louse with a 60% nit mortality rate will produce more than 80 nymphs. This means if you have 10 pairs of lice in your hair, they are capable of producing more than 800 nymphs. If 75% of these nymphs survive through the molting period, you will end up with 600 full fledged lice from the original 10 pairs. Once these 600 begin mating, you have a very serious problem. It doesn’t take a calculator to figure out that these lice will produce many, many thousands of new lice making a colony that has astounding numbers in a very short period of time.

These parasites are extremely contagious which easily infect other victims through any close contact. It doesn’t take nothing more than hugging an infected a person to catch lice. That split second that your heads touch can be all it takes. It goes without saying that you should never use a hair brush or hat of an infected person or you will almost certainly catch lice. Another certain way to catch lice it to use a bed or pillow that belongs to an infected person.

Fortunately, there’s a new method of treating head lice that is now available and for those people that don’t like the idea of using a pesticide shampoo especially for their children, this is a dream come true. Dimethicone is a polydimethylsiloxane oil which is a non-toxic, silicone-like substance that effectively suffocates lice by effectively blocking their air supply. The best part is that the oil is organic.
