Mineralee - All Natural Lice Treatment for head lice and pubic lice

Louse is an insect which has two primary characteristics. It is an external parasite of a warm-blooded animal (bird or mammal), and it spends most of its life cycle on the host animal. The human head louse attaches its eggs to the base of a hair, close to the scalp. The nymph which hatches from the egg develops to an adult after three molts, and dies within two or three weeks, after a life of constant feeding, mating and egg-laying.

Much to many parents' annoyance, the head louse is a tiny, wingless parasitic insect that lives among human hairs and feeds on extremely small amounts of blood drawn from the scalp. Head Lice (the plural of louse) are a very common problem, especially for kids ages 3 years to 12 years (girls more often than boys). It is also the reason why an all natural lice treatment can be helpful.

Head Lice aren't dangerous and they don't spread disease, but they are contagious and can just be very annoying. Their bites may cause a child’s’ scalp to become itchy and inflamed and persistent scratching may lead to skin irritation and even infection.
Head lice are increasingly common amongst the well-scrubbed children and are found at all levels of society contrary to the old days when it was believed to be prominent among the poorest in society.
Lice are spread by physical contact between humans. When they are removed from the host's head and placed under the microscope, they appear sluggish and clumsy, but at the temperature of the human scalp and amongst the hairs for which their bodies are adapted, they are quite active, and can easily change hosts during brief moments of contact. Thus they spread most rapidly between children. In this way, the average louse may spend its day on several heads.

The other common lice of the human body are the clothing lice and pubic lice. Interbreeding between head lice and clothing lice is possible, but under normal conditions, the three types favor different regions of the body, and live distinct and separate lifestyles. Mineralee is an all natural lice treatment that if left on the infected areas can cause death to the lice. The Dead Sea water are extremely oily and will suffocate the growing louse by sealing the air vents in the operculum of the egg casing.
