Castletown Chemist » News http://castletownchemist.com Pharmacy news and health information from Esperance, Western Australia Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:31:13 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Lice in the Press http://castletownchemist.com/2005/08/lice-in-the-press/ http://castletownchemist.com/2005/08/lice-in-the-press/#comments Mon, 15 Aug 2005 01:05:00 +0000 shayne http://www.castletownchemist.com/?p=39 The Australian had a short article on head lice on Saturday.

While just a journalist’s opinion rather than a medical piece, it did mention a “new” concept in lice treatment: Using plain conditioner and a fine toothed comb to brush the little mongrels out!

While I think that the writer’s success with one attempt was probably more good fortune than good planning, there is an effective technique promoted by the WA Health Department. You can find a pdf file with some general information on lice and the 10-day conditioner treatment here

Be warned: this is a labour intensive method, but is safe, effective and inexpensive.
