Will vaseline kill lice

Answer

You are thinking along the lines more regarding ticks. No, it wouldn't make a difference and you should see your Doctor Who will give you medication for this. Children can come home from school with lice in their hair and it's contagious. With the proper medication (generally a medicated shampoo) you can get rid of the lice quite quickly. It's important the whole family shampoo their hair.

Answer

I am a Nurse Practitioner. In answer to your question, yes, in theory, vaseline could kill lice. It would smother them. But you would have to put it over your entire head and all the hair. It would be messy, sticky and hard to get the nits out. It is better to use mayonnaise. I have recommended this to patients before for stubborn lice infestations. It washes out better than vaseline and makes it so the nits slip out. Put the mayonnaise on at night. Cover the entire head. Cover with saran wrap or shower cap. Sleep with it on head. Wash hair in the morning. Be sure to comb out all nits with a good nit comb. Nit combs can be bought at your local drug store.

Yes, It will smother them. My mother did this to my sister when she was a child. She had a medical condition and could not use the regular treatments. But she also used heat in conjunction with it. After she has washed out all the Vasleline she used a curling iron to kill the knits. Yes it takes time but its worth it.
