Head lice are parasites that spread by direct contact through the exchange of personal effects such as hats and combs and brushes.
Pediculosis is the disease caused by this kind of infestation that usually manifests with a severe itch on the surface of the skin.
The level of discomfort depends on how sensitive our skin is to the saliva of these parasites, unfortunately, we notice the itching only when the infestation is already in an advanced state or after about 4-6 weeks.
Locating head lice is simple, residues that they leave on hair are clearly visible on the pillow in the morning or you can use a lice comb and a sheet of white paper held under the head to see the parasites and their eggs as they fall while being removed.
There are specific products (shampoo) to fight the spread of head lice but these are not always effective. Fortunately, we are aware of a homemade remedy without any kind of chemical additive and that has a guaranteed positive result! In addition, you probably already have the ingredients you need in your house!
