so apparantly, my daughter brought home fleas......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????

I looked up what I should do.. I'm currently washing EVERYTHING!! and while I'm waiting for everything to be washed HOT... I put 70% alcohol onto my scalp, doused my dreads, wrapped in a plastic bag and am waiting the half hour. This is the method I've seen most for killing fleas in dreads. I'm hoping that this is correct... I really dont want to lose my dreads.. any one have this situation before??????

they're definately fleas... i've done the whole lice thing with the kids before... i've only found one, but my poor head has been bitten, so i'm doing the alcohol thing anyway, and i'll do the acv thing as well. the problem is my daughter lives with a bunch of dogs.. i have two of my own... so... dogs are out and i am running around like an idiot cleaning. thanks so much for your help. <3 soaringeagle said:

but a pet with fleas can infest a house
now lice will live on u
but alcohol will kill em they cant breath the fumes and die
if its lice do a vinagar rinse after and it dissolves the egg casing so they arent attached tio the hair

u gotta repeat every 3 days to breat the birth cycle
lice lay eggs at 5 days old and the eggs hatch in 5 days too
so killing em every 3 days means none survive to lay eggs
u probly will need 3 or more treatmentrs

treat the dogs and you'll get the fleas they will hop on u and bite u but will not live on uso u get rid of em on the dogs and u will be finebut if her house is infested u might need to bomb tge house as u treat the pups
