Thanks for your empathy! It really is horrible and humbling. I have begun putting apple cider vinegar in my hair as I thought that lemon might be more harmful. I'm surprised it makes it soft. I didn't think about the oils in the lemon. Thank you. I iwll try this for my hair.

It seems your vinegar treatment may not have been in vain….

“Does vinegar kill lice? Vinegar receives an “honorable mention,” because it has been touted as an aid in the removal of nits, but it doesn't kill adult lice. The acidic makeup of vinegar breaks down the glue-like substance that adheres the nits to the hair shaft.Aug 27, 2020”

Hey. Did you use borax water on your rugs/bedding/sofas? That is what I have been doing but perhaps I should powder the carpets? ALso did you spray the base boards with borax? I was not sure what you meant by this. Thank you

Besides washing everything in borax I also sprinkle boric acid powder and sweep it around the floor and then under baseboards. i would sprinkle it in carpets too if needed as long as there are no children or pets in the area.

Look into Diatomaceous earth. It kills crawling insects. Used in gardening, pet care for fleas, pest control, and you can find food grade too.
And also bentonite clay packs for your hair.
I have not been to a doctor in… over thirty years. I can’t come up with the last time.
That is why I was so blown away that a doctor couldn’t offer you any help! Then again I don’t know of a friend or loved one that has gone to a doctor and gotten any meaningful help so I’m not sure why this was a surprising to me.
Sorry to bother you. Good luck. And consider throwing away everything in your house and shaving!

Wow, that is awesome you've not be subjected to a doctors office for 30 years!! I go when desperate then remember why it is a waste of money/time/sanity.

You were no bother to me. I was grateful for your time. I just can't with my hair. I'm going to try bentonite clay and lemon. I have slept many nights covered in diatomaceous earth.
