It's silly what they are saying about home remedies " "Theoretically, it could work if you put it on thickly enough that the lice aren't able to breathe. But it's hard to imagine that you could get it on thickly enough to really do the trick.". The trick is you do exactly what it says needs to be done... you put it on thick enough. What do they mean "it's hard to imagine you could...". I guess it is hard to imagine, but it's not hard to do. Stop imagining it and try it, Honey. I worked pediatrics in South Texas and lice were a huge problem. We couldn't use the medications on a lot of our population, so we had to try other things.
DON'T use Vaseline. You'll never wash it out of their hair.
