Got lice? Try ordinary conditioner, say scientists

Scientists from Belgium have found that ordinary conditioner is just as effective as special conditioners and treatments for removing lice. Those who have dealt with lice eggs, or nits, know they are incredibly challenging to remove. Following a few experiments, scientists found "no significant difference" between regular conditioner and special lice-removal products in ridding hair of the sticky eggs. However, they did find eggs easier to remove when hair was soaked in deionized water.
