Urgent Help With Lice Infestation by infogenius(m): 7:22am On Jul 25, 2023
I'm seeking some assistance from those who have experience with dealing with hair lice infestations that seem to persist despite various treatments.

A close friend of mine contracted lice from her salon last month and has been trying various remedies, but the problem continues to worsen.

Initially, she tried retouching her hair, followed by using camphor and cacatin.
Unfortunately, the itching and biting sensation persisted, and she had to resort to scraping her hair at one point.
Even after switching to camphor and kerosene, the issue persists, and she has used different products like dematol, zhens, relaxer, and aloe vera on her bald head, but nothing seems to be working.

Her pharmacist and salonist have also run out of ideas to help her. The situation is becoming unbearable for her as she spends most of her time dealing with these creepy sensations and bites, constantly applying different products and using combs and brushes to remove whatever might be there. The problem doesn't seem to be improving; in fact, it appears to be getting worse.

As a result, she's starting to consider the possibility that this might be a spiritual issue, as she cannot find peace and can't even go out without being disturbed by these infestations.

If anyone has encountered a similar situation, especially a long-term hair lice infestation, and has found a practical and effective solution, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience.

Your advice could be immensely helpful in bringing some relief to her.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Tell her to barb skin cut....then monitor it from there.

I don't know if kerosene is a good alternative.

There’s nothing to see on her scalp at the moment except for bruises from the relaxer, comb and the things she’s administered on her scalp

shaving is different from skin cut. If you mean skin cut, say she had a skin cut. If you mean she shaved, then she should go on skin cut. Change her bed sheets and pillowcase, use antiseptic hair creams.

Adin is different from black seed I. Go to anywhere they are selling Islamic materials or Friday mosque, you can get it there. It is very available here in the north. It is a product from Algeria, Egypt etc


Yes, Oral intake, 2spoon
