Eurypegasus draconis is traded as a marine medicinal that is a lower-cost option for maladies often treated by seahorses and pipefishes (Vincent 1997). Live sea moths are also sold in the aquarium trade (Vincent 1997, Pajaro et al. 2004).
Most head lice shampoos that contain coconut oil also contain anise seed, ylang ylang and isopropyl alcohol. These shampoos have a very strong licorice scent due to the anise seed. The coconut oil kills the adult lice and the newly hatched nymphs, but not the eggs, so combing is still necessary. Shampooing and combing should be repeated a minimum of four times, with each shampoo being done three days apart.
To prevent re-infection, place tea tree oil in a quart of water and use as a conditioner. This keeps tea tree oil in the hair at all times and the lice do not like this. Mayonnaise: Place mayonnaise on the hair as thick as possible (at least 1/4 inch thick through hair). Wrap hair in saran wrap and apply heat with a blow dryer for 20 minutes. The mayonnaise suffocates the lice and the heat helps release the glue on the nits making them easier to remove.
