The 10 Best Natural Lice Remedies.
Lice are small parasites that live in the hair and on the scalp. They feed on blood.
It is a very common problem in children.
Lice can be caught by simple contact with an infected person while playing at school, in sports, by sleeping next to that person, or at other gatherings.
They are also spread by wearing the clothes of a person who has lice, by sharing personal items such as brushes or combs that have been contaminated, by sleeping in a bed that an infected person has previously laid down.
Two signs indicate the presence of lice: itching in the head and red pimples on the scalp.
As they reproduce very quickly, it is really difficult to eliminate these little parasites in a few days.
Combing can help make them disappear, but it is a long and tedious process.
Fortunately, there are several natural home remedies available to address this problem.
