Also called: HeadLice, Pediculosis
The human body is attacked by many parasites, which includes worms, ticks and louse. Head Lice, also known as Pediculosis are common parasite which occurs in the hairs of children, especially girls. The adult louse measures about a pin head. The Lice lays eggs which looks like flakes of dandruff. These eggs are also known as nits. The lice live on the blood which it sucks with the help of its sharp proboscis. The bite leaves a mark on the scalp which itches and can also become infected. Head Lice are extremely contagious. Close contact or sharing personal belongings, such as hats or hairbrushes, puts people at risk. Children ages 3-11 and their families get Head Lice most often. Personal hygiene has nothing to do with getting Head Lice.

"When my mother fell ill with cancer I wanted to find a natural solution to help with her suffering.
After an excessive
research I learned about Wheatgrass. And it seemed to work!
She passed through chemotherapy with ease. But was it the Wheatgrass?
And if it was, how come it was so hard to find out about it?"
