Question:
I saw a natural head lice remedy on the Net that was part vinegar,
mayonnaise, and oil. Does anyone know the proportions?? I lost my
"recipe"
Answer:
There is an awful lot of quackery out there in the area of head lice
remedies. Be careful. See for a
good overview of the options.
discusses the
"Non-Standard Treatments". Note that mayonnaise *is* mostly oil/fat and
vinegar.
Virtually any oil can be used to suffocate the lice and aid in their
removal. Vinegar may loosen the nit glue somewhat; there are also products
specifically designed for that purpose .
