Great treatments, have heard of some of them not all.
Probably the best that Ive come across though is neem oil. Neem oil is extremely toxic to all body parasites. Kills in minutes. Obviously needs to be mixed with a carrier agent like olive oil or grape seed oil.

When I used your remedy it was the second time I had tried to treat std crabs in a week. For some reason the first one containing Diazinon didn’t work. I think maybe I washed it off a little early because it was stinging. Anyway, I used your natural treatment “Natural Lice Solutions”. Worked well and it was a relief not to have to put up with the itching that I heard can stay for a few days after they are dead. No itching at all after using this
