There is shampoo for lice. Wash hair daily. If you doon't get shampoo, use benzylbenzoate l0%ocally .Beware of eyes. Tie hair and head with soft scarf. Let it stay for 2 4hours and then wash. Just check, somes they require second application All other members must be treated simultanously. Take of eyes and genitals.
