APPENDIX A

Listerine / Shampoo Treatment (Non-toxic treatment)

There are many treatments you can use for ukus. Here is a sample of a non-toxic treatment you can use. Whatever treatment is used, you need to clean your environment and at the same time, continually check for nits until they are gone. Learn more about the UKU PROJECT >>

Use original Listerine (brown or orange bottle). DO NOT USE FLAVORED LISTERINE.

Rinse off, apply conditioner, and rinse again. Comb hair out and remove dead lice.

Remove the nits or eggs. DO NOT SHARE COMBS OR TOWELS WITH ANYONE.

Use this every three days for twelve days, and it will continually kill the live ukus as they are hatching. Wash clothing and bedding in hot water. Place pillows in a large, sealed plastic bag and leave in the sun for 1 hour.

APPENDIX B
