I've read about neem oil for head lice and scabies, but what is the treatment for body lice (not pubic)?

Hi Margaret,
You use neem oil for body lice just as you use neem oil for scabies or even head lice. The principles are the same:

Add neem oil to the bath water and soak in it.

Wash the whole body with an extra strength neem soap. Even neem head lice shampoo is ok.

On top of that you can use a neem lotion on your skin. It helps to soothe the irritation from the bites

But, most importantly, you need to meticulously eradicate the buggers throughout the house by washing all clothing and bedding, vaccuuming the carpets etc.

If you follow the instructions and hints for neem treatment of scabies as well as neem oil and head lice, you should be able to get on top of the problem very quickly.

Body lice are nowhere near as hard to eradicate as head lice or scabies mites. Even just the last point in the list above should help.

If you find that you still have problems, despite meticulous washing of everything and despite the neem treatment, then you are likely dealing with something else.
