T-Bird Anni Rides Again

found some stuff on treating our "guests"…

essential oils of oregano, aniseed or cinnamon leaf dispersed in alcohol (1 drop/10mls vodka)  combed through the hair and left to dry on will kill most of them, washing off the morning after as normal but then rinsing with a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water with a good shot of the dispersed oils mixed in should mean that you nuke the lot although it does say taht you need to comb daily and repeat a week later so maybe their 100% mortality rate is cumulative?  Aparently Tea Tree is "only" about 90% effective.

 Hmm, won’t be trying vodka on Aprilia but wondering about a preventative going over on my tresses, I rather like cinamon oil so I could definitely live with smelling of it, in fact it could be quite festive!

I suppose ti was bound to happen at some point given the amount of time Aprilia spends with her head nestled against some other girlies but why did she have to invite nits for the Christmas holidays????  She only had 10 or so adults but I’ve combed off thousands of tiny ones so I think we may have cought it early but not early enough as they 10 grown ups have obviously been getting busy

 Of course, I then had to call next door and let them know as she was playing there most of Wednesday afternoon and so now the darling boys know Aprilia is nitty which they will no doubt take great pleasure in reminding her of.

So now I’m wondering if those itches on my scalp are just because I was swimming yesterday which always gives me an itchy head or if it’s time for a serious hair cut….
