How do I get lice or nits out of a woollen cap?
Wool can’t be boiled. I tried soaking in eucalyptus and tea-tree oils. Perhaps that will work. Due to continued reinfestations though, clothes need to be continually cleansed. The poisons we’re using for the head lice don’t seem to work as well as the sassafras essential oil I have used previously (but I can’t get any just now).
Remember, lice are human parasites. They need human blood to survive. Lice do not embed themselves in clothing. The only concern is a louse that came off the head within the last 24 hours, or a lice egg (“nit”) on a hair, that was transferred by friction on to an adjacent item.
Any items that can tolerate it should be washed in hot water. If they cannot be washed, they should be put into the dryer for ½ hour on high heat. If neither of these is possible, these items should be bagged for 48 hours.
Tie the top of the bag with a knot or a twist-tie. In the case that there is a live lice bug on any garment, it will die within 24-48 hours because it has no access to human blood. In the case of stray hairs with nits, the fact that they are in a sealed bag is equally beneficial. Any newly hatched nymph will die right away without a human head on which to feed. I hope this information is helpful.
I work for a company that specializes in the removal of head lice. We use all natural products, but our advice is free!
