    I've tried everything how do I get rid of these pests
    My daughter has had scabies and lice for almost three months. I've cleaned and scoured and bleached and washed and quarantied and numerous other things. We've used over the counter meds and prescription meds then spent three hours picking them out one by one. Then about two weeks later the symptoms come back and THEY'RE BACK!! This is the most annoying thing I've ever dealt with in my life I WANT THEM GONE PLEASE HELP... I'm desperate. Thanks

    I just read about the benefits of Grapefruit Seed Extract and one of them was the killing of lice.

    Sometimes lice and scabies develop resistance to treatment. My experience is that kids often get re-infected at school. Again and again.

    If other parents of kids in the same class have the same problem, then the entire class may need to be treated at once.

    My drastic solution - hair cut very short. Also, infestation stopped after the kids changed school.

    I have no clue about this except to wonder if one of your daughter's friends might be reinfecting her with the things. Or, perhaps some place that she is visiting is infected and she is picking them up there.


    Just a thought.

To me the pit bulls are pests. I can't walk down an alley without worrying about getting bitten. When I see anything resembling a pit bull on a leash I am forced to take evasive action. In my opinion, they should be bred out of existence. Why aren't they?
