If you have nobody to help you how do you treat yourself for head lice?
You have to buy the products to clean and de louse your car, house and head. Wash all the bedding in the house and spray the car and the carpet in your home, too. The wash you can buy at walmart and it comes with a comb that has very close teeth to grab the nits(eggs) and live ones off the hair. Follow the instructions exactly and do this all in one day. Try to find the source of lice and avoid that place or person. Lice is a parasite that starts on dirty people and it loves clean hair. That is how it survives because it cannot cling to dirty hair because its usually greasy and the like. If your male the best thing to do is get your hair crew cut. If your a gal cut is as short as you can, if you can and follow the directions for the application for each. Good luck. I have hair down to my but and a so called "friend" had it on and off for 3 months in their home and didnt inform us went they came to visit at my home and slept over no less and like clock work in two weeks we were infested. Luckly my husband didnt get it, my sons head was shaved and I had a dear friend who was willing to come and pick out the nits for 3 days until the very last little sucker was gone. After you do this you can repeat once a month but not the whole bottle, just a quarter size to stave them off and also keep hair spray on your head or some type of hair gel, they don't like that stuff at all. Good luck.
Proven Remedythe MAIN trick to ending the lice problem is comb, comb, comb, and comb some more. You can use all of the lice treatment in the world, but if you don't comb out those nits, which are lice eggs, they will keep hatching. you need a very fine tooth comb. use it often. Also, very important, wash sheets, blankets, anything that can be washed in lysol (the old time brown bottle Lysol) in the washing machine and dry in dryer. vacuum whole house and furniture also.What is highly contagious parasitic infestation of head lice?

What is the best way to get rid of chest hair?
Considering that chest hair is extremely sexy, I would first urge you not to remove your chest hair but to keep it.
Otherwise, waxing has the longest effect, but is EXTREMELY painful. The easiest way to get rid of chest hair is to clip it close to the skin. Shaving works, too, but results in ingrown hairs.
Laser hair removal or electrolysis will eventually permanently remove body hair, but it's expensive; again, chest hair is sexy and maybe you should wait and see if don't change your mind.
(If you are a woman with chest hair, you may want to consult with a doctor about possible hirsutism.)
Foggers should not be used to kill lice. Heat should be used to kill the eggs and a pyrethrin based insecticide/shampoo to kill the adults.

Of course Scabies can live on furniture, anything cloth, and things that aren't cloth. The thing is, they can only survive on things like wood, metal, and things like that for three days. But they can live on furniture much longer. The thing is, if you can't keep them away from your body completely, you will not get rid of them. You can end up having them for years. Many Web sites don't tell the truth about scabies. For example, scabies, crabs, and lice can effect the eyes too. to find out what doctors don't tell you or don't know about Scabies. Very little research has been done on Scabies. I have had them four times, and they are HARD to get rid of at times. Sometimes no one will believe you have them too. That's when they say it's in your head and call it Delutional Parasites. Doctors and even dermitologists let you suffer a lot of times.

What brand tea tree oil shampoos?
One does not need a special brand of Tea Tree Oil Shampoo.
You can easily just get a bottle of Tea Tree Oil and use your favourite shampoo.
Method:
Add enough shampoo for one use in your hand. Add 1-3 drops of Tea Tree Oil. Mix this together and wash your hair thoroughly.
You wil feel the oil working as a sensation of warmth or cold on your scalp. This is great regarding dandruff and psoriasis too, not only against head lice.
Warning:
Tea Tree Oil is a strong oil that really stings if you get the mixture in your eyes.
It might be an idea to have an adult help you.
Method:
Wash your hair normally one time with ordinary shampoo. Rinse and dry your hair slightly so that it does not drip a lot. Use shampoo with Tea Tree Oil and massage it thoroughly into your hair. This should make a lot of foam that does not run everywhere . Let it stay for 2-3 minutes and rinse.
This should kill off most of the adult lice and some of the eggs.
Repeat this treatment every second day for 8 days and you should be free of this pest in a natural way. It is important to have the time span of 8 days so that unhatched eggs can mature and hatch and the newborn lice be killed off.
Note:
Some people are allergic to Tea Tree Oil.
Very few people are allergic to concentrations as low as 1-3 drops when washing your hair with shampoo.
If in doubt, then try a teaspoon of olive oil mixed with one drop of Tea Tree Oil and rub a bit onto your leg or stomach or similar bare skin. If it turns red after 10 min, then you might want to find an alternative cure regarding head lice.
