Remove head lice and nits

You do not have to be filthy to catch lice in kindergarten or school.

For the treatment of lice, suitable preparations are available.

More difficult, however, is the complete removal of the nits (eggs), as they are very small and stick firmly to the lower parts of the hair.

The best way to dissolve the nits, after having treated with a vinegar solution (1 part apple cider vinegar, 2 parts water), the hair.

The exposure time should be 10 minutes. Then thoroughly comb the hair with a Nissenkamm (very fine comb, available in the pharmacy) in 2 directions.
