Published on 7/7/2008http://www.ehow.com/tips_4409707.htmlHi, Natalie! I've NEVER TRIED THIS before, but this was some advice my vet gave me: if you've been exposed to lice (for example, if you work in a grade school where there are often head lice epidemics) you can use a monthy flea/tick/lice product like the one used on pets - on yourself! He said a drop or two placed at the crown of the head as a preventative measure would be more than sufficent to repel the critters and would be completely safe on a child, teen or adult. Again, I've never tried this, but he says he has tried it when one child came home with head lice and the rest of the family remained lice-free. I plan on packing some with me when I visit India next year - better safe than bald! lol Thanks again, Natalie!
