Do Lice Infest Adults too?
Lice are often thought to affect kids only but adults can get them too. Here are three reasons why:
1) Close Contact: Lice are transmitted through close contact like touching heads together. Given the contestant’s physical closeness in Bigg Boss House, adults have a high chance of contracting these annoying parasites.
2) Shared Personal Items: Lice transfer is easy via shared goods such as combs, hats, pillows and towels. In communal living quarters, personal possessions may get confused thus increasing risk levels even more.
3) Travel and Social Gatherings: During travel or attending social events where you come into proximity with people you can pick up lice too. Crowded places present ideal conditions for transmission between individuals in terms of space available.

1) Use Medicated Shampoo: These special lice treatment shampoos have ingredients like Dimethicone are capable of killing both lice and eggs. Adhere to the instructions for the best outcome.
2) Tea Tree Oil: Tea Tree oil known for its anti-bacterial properties is a great option for treating lice at home. Simply apply a few drops of the oil directly on your scalp and massage. Or you can also mix it with your shampoo for a stronger effect.
3) Smother the lice: Another effective home remedy to try at home is to smother or suffocate the lice. To follow this process all you have to do is apply a thick layer of oil such as olive oil, castor oil or even vaseline on your scalp and roots and then comb it out.
4) Clean Personal Items: To kill any live lice, wash bedding, hats, or clothing in hot water. Any linen that cannot be washed should be kept in a plastic bag for two weeks so that all the parasites die completely.
