00:00Did you ever get headlight as a kid?
00:02If so, don't worry because every child has experienced it at least once.
00:07Headlights are tiny, wingless insects that live on the scalp, feed on human blood and cause itching with their saliva.
00:15A female can lay up to 150 eggs that hatch in 7 to 10 days.
00:20If a child keeps scratching their head, especially behind their ears or at the back of the neck, it could
00:27be a sign of head lice.
00:29Why do kids get head lice so easily?
00:32Head lice spread through head-to-head contact, so young children often catch them while playing closely together.
00:39Girls are more likely to get lice because longer hair gives lice more places to cling to.
00:44How do people in Thailand use traditional home remedies to treat head lice?
00:49Sugar apple leaves can be crushed and mixed with a little water to make a natural hair treatment.
00:55Leave the paste on the hair for a few hours, then use a fine-toothed lice comb to remove lice
01:01and eggs.
01:02The leaves and seeds contain a natural compound called anony, which may help weaken lice and stop their eggs from
01:09developing.
01:10Another way is using Kaffir lime, a natural option that may help with head lice.
01:16Roast the fruit until soft, squeeze out the juice and gently massage it into the scalp.
01:21Its natural oils and acids may help loosen lice eggs, making them easier to comb out.
