Article: While there is no scientific consensus, some research indicates tea tree oil and other natural oils may kill head lice. You can buy tea tree oil at a local health shop or order it online. See if it works at treating head lice. Some people are allergic to tea tree oil and will have a lot of skin redness or irritation if used. Talk to your doctor before trying tea tree oil. Or, you can apply a small amount to your arm for a few days to look for an allergic reaction. Be especially careful if using on a child. Before bed, sprinkle a few drops of tea tree oil on your scalp. Put a towel on your pillow and go to sleep, leaving the oil in overnight. In the morning, comb your hair to remove any dead lice or eggs. Then, wash and condition your hair. If possible, use shampoo and conditioner that contains tea tree oil. Look for a minimum concentration of 2% tea tree oil. Repeat as necessary. The process may take a few tries before it works. Some research indicates some natural plant oils may be toxic to head lice. However, scientific research is limited and not conclusive. Lavender oil, anise oil, ylang ylang oil, and nerolidol all may work at removing head lice. You can order these oils online or can find them in some drug or health food stores. Use with caution, however, as essential oils are not required to meet FDA safety regulations. Keep in mind many essential oils need to be diluted in a carrier oil, like olive oil, before use. Read the label of any oils you purchase for instructions on safe use. As with tea tree oil, use these oils with caution, especially with children. Talk to your doctor before using essential oils to treat head lice. Many household products can supposedly kill head lice by depriving lice and eggs from air. This can smother lice and eggs but there is little clinical evidence of the effectiveness of these treatments. Olive oil, mayonnaise, petroleum jelly, and butter are all suggested smothering agents to treat head lice. You would apply one of these products to your hair, cover with a shower cap or hair net, and leave in overnight. Wash out in the morning and see if you notice any results.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Try tea tree oil. Use other essential oils. Try smothering agents.
Article: Do this after the skin has cooled and you are able to lay it out on a flat rock or cool concrete. Use a knife or a flesher to remove every little bit. It's very important to get all of the flesh off of the hide so that it doesn't begin to rot. Don't wait too long to flesh the hide after you've skinned the deer. If the hide begins to decompose it won't hold up during the tanning process. Use a fleshing tool intended for scraping flesh from a hide, rather than a knife. Sharp tools could pierce the hide and damage it. Make sure you put down a fairly thick layer of salt to draw out the moisture from the pelt. Use 3-5 pounds of salt, depending on how large the hide is. The salting process takes a day or two if the proper amount of salt is used. Keep adding salt to the hide until it dries out and becomes crispy. Cover wet areas of the hide with more salt. Before you use the brine solution, soak the hide in clean water until it is soft and flexible. This helps it absorb the tanning chemicals. Peel off the dried inner skin from the hide. This solution relaxes the hide and helps to preserve it, an essential step in the tanning process. Here's what you'll need: 2 gallons water 1 1/2 gallons bran flake water (Make this by boiling 1 1/2 gallons of water and pouring it over a pound of bran flakes. Let the mixture sit for one hour, then strain and reserve the water.) 8 cups salt (not iodized) 1 1/4 cups formic acid 1 box baking soda 2 large trash cans 1 large stick, for stirring and moving hides Put the salt in a trash can and pour 2 gallons of boiling water inside. Add the bran flake water and stir until the salt has completely dissolved. Add the formic acid. Put the hide in the trash can, punching it down with the stick to make sure it is completely covered in liquid. Let it soak for 40 minutes. Remove the hide from the brining solution and drain. Make sure you wear gloves and take other precautions to prevent getting burned from the acid. Mix an ounce of baking soda for every 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water needed to cover the hide in a large garbage can. Place the hide in the neutralizing solution, and stir for 20 minutes. Remove the hide from the neutralizing solution, rinse, and drain. Remove the hide from the rinse and hang over a beam to drain. Rub it with neat's foot oil to condition the skin. Hang the hide on a stretcher or hide dryer to finish the process. Place it in a place out of the sun to dry. After a few days the hide should feel dry and flexible. Take it down from the rack and go over the skin side with a wire brush until it has a suede-like appearance. Let the hide finish drying until it is fully dry, which should take a few more days.
