How to use the fine comb against lice

The method of combing a child's hair with a fine-tooth comb to eliminate lice and nits is effective as long as it's applied frequently -- and with a lot of patience.

You can also use the fine comb in conjunction with a specific anti-louse product, which can make the job easier.

It is also important to know how to use the fine comb to detect if your child really has lice.

How often should I comb?
If you've confirmed that your son or daughter does have lice , comb them every day, or every other day, until about 15 days have passed without you seeing any live lice.

The first "fine comb operation" should get most of the lice out. On the other days, you will remove the ones that are left and the ones that are born from the remaining nits.

If head lice are common in your neighborhood or at your child's school, comb them once a month, just in case.

• Tips for a successful louse-finger comb operation
• Prefer a metal comb, with longer teeth, specific for picking up lice and nits. Electric combs that claim to kill more lice apparently don't have much different effect than regular combs.
• Apply conditioner on the child's head to facilitate combing. Wet hair also helps to immobilize the lice.
• Use an ordinary comb to untangle the hair and then go to a fine-tooth comb.
• Use hairpins, clips or piranhas to separate the part of the hair that has already been combed.
• Let your child watch a movie or cartoon, play a video game, or look at books and comics to distract himself while you comb through.

Stay in a well-lit environment.

What if the hair is too difficult to comb?
If your daughter's or son's hair is too fine, or too frizzy, or too bulky, you may find it difficult to do the fine-tooth comb operation.

In this case, the options remain to use other methods of fighting the lice and to cut the hair to facilitate the process.

In girls, shaving the back of the neck helps. The "damage" doesn't show up as much, and the measure eliminates a region where lice like to breed.

Is it any use putting vinegar on your hair?
There are experts who claim that vinegar helps to loosen the nits from the hair strands. At the height of the infestation, however, the child's scalp is likely to be irritated and bruised from the itchiness, and smearing vinegar will make it sting.

You can try the vinegar method when you've already used a head lice product, or a few days after the first fine-combing operation, when the itching and irritation are already improving. Vinegar alone does not kill the lice.

To loosen the nits, mix the same amount of warm water and white vinegar and apply to hair for 15 minutes. Then go through the fine-tooth comb.

How to care for ivy

Hera is a plant as flexible as its branches: it goes up when it has support, it goes down when it's to cosplay a pendant species; it is found with leaves of different shapes and colors. Our gardener Carol Costa talks about these characteristics of ivy and tells many others, in this video made in one of the greenhouses at Sítio São Jorge , a large producer of these plants, in Holambra (SP). Have a question about caring for ivy? With this video and the professional tips of the madwoman for plants, her doubt was gone ("it was", you know... "ivy"). Enough cute and let's learn all about ivy!

Hera is easy to take care of

Ivy is a more than democratic plant. Pretty much everything you want to do with it, as long as you water it and fertilize it right, your ivy will obey and grow happy and green... or patterned... That's because you can find a very large number of ivy species, cultivars and hybrids : girl's finger ivy ( Hedera helix "Mona Lisa"), with its jagged leaves; Variegate ivy ( Hedera helix "Glacier"), with broad leaves and a "camouflage" print; ivy "Gloire de Marengo" ( Hedera algeriensis "Gloire de Marengo"), with yellow outlines; yellow ivy ( Hedera hybrid ),heart ivy ( Hedera helix "Tear Drop") and its... heart shape!

Is Ivy Hanging or Creeping?

This plant is a lining , ie the ivy like space and grows in the ground, stretching in all directions. But if you want to grow it as a hanging plant , just plant it in a pot and hang it up: its branches will grow like long hairs. If you want it to "go up", a trellis or other framework can act as a tutor for the ivy to grow upwards.. It is such a good plant, that it can be grown in shade, half-shade and even in a place with a little more sun – just that strong sun is not worth it. If you want to place your ivy in a sunnier area, do what is called "rustification". Introduce the plant gradually to the sunny environment, so as not to burn its leaves. Ivy grow happily in places with good light, but don't overdo it. Don't leave the plant far from the window or locked in a room that lives with the curtain closed – or worse – in a toilet!

variegate ivy

One of the charms of ivy is its variegated (or variegated) leaves. This is characteristic of some plants having foliage with lighter, almost white spots. It is not a "defect" but a characteristic: the plant develops normally. Specialized producers, such as Sítio São Jorge , select plants with this characteristic and cultivate them, enabling a variety of tones. Imagine an arrangement with several different ivy, going from darker green to white, passing to yellow edges and details in very light tones.

How to make an arrangement with ivy

Can you create a composition using taller vases, taking advantage of the ivy's natural trim? Of course it can! But what about the recommendation to avoid very deep vessels? In the video, Carol manages to create an arrangement only with ivy, choosing tall glasses from TS Brasiland also using a clever trick to prevent water accumulation: a huge false bottom, filling most of the long cylindrical glasses with empty plastic vases. In the outermost parts of the array, layers of substrate are added. Rice husk, fluffy moss, sand, substrate and vermiculite arranged in overlaps, create interesting patterns and shapes, taking advantage of the transparency of the glass. Only at the top of the arrangement is there a layer of substrate, very shallow, for the ivy plants. With three long windows, of different heights and using different species of ivy, you can create a very interesting set.

How to make ivy seedlings

To grow ivy, prefer shallow pots or gourds . Very soaked substrate ends up rotting the leaves and roots, so avoid using pots or vases that are too high. When properly cared for, the ivy grows vigorous and happy, stretching wherever it gets space. If you get a very long size, maybe your ivy needs a branch pruning. Take advantage of these pieces to make new seedlingsof the plant. This is because, in each segment where a leaf is born, there is, on the opposite part of the stem, a formation that can originate a root.

All this little formation needs is to touch a substrate, feel that there is a little moisture there and... that's it! Roots appear and a new plant originates from this tic of a branch. Prepare some pots with very soft and good quality seedling substrate (Carol Costa uses All Garden substrate ). In this substrate, skewer the tip of the ivy branch just a little. Cut the branch segments very close to one leaf and keep another. In three weeks, the ivy starts to take root.

Tip: If you have kids or a nosy dog, put the ivy in taller pots. The plant is toxic, so it must be grown out of reach of curious little hands and mouths. Do you have a cat? Hang your ivy up there and it's okay. But, you can't even be upset with this very nice plant: even if toxic, ivy serves as the basis for herbal cough syrups. If you look closely, you'll find one with the scientific name of the ivy, Hedera helix .

Wasp sting: what to do, how long it lasts and what are the symptoms

The wasp sting is usually very uncomfortable as it causes severe pain, swelling and intense redness at the site of the sting. However, these symptoms are especially related to the size of the stinger rather than the intensity of the venom.

Although these insects may seem more poisonous than a wasp, they are not and therefore cause milder symptoms as the stinger does not stay at the sting site releasing more venom, as is the case with wasps. Thus, there is no need to remove the stinger before starting treatment.

Wasp sting: what to do, how long it lasts and what are the symptoms
To alleviate symptoms, what you should do is:

• Wash the area with soap and water to prevent the entry of microorganisms through the bite, which can worsen the skin reaction;
• Apply a cold compress over the bite site for 5 to 10 minutes . To do this, dip a compress or a clean cloth in cold water, remove excess water and place it on the spot;
• Apply an antihistamine ointment for stings such as Polaramine or Polaryn.
• The application of the cold compress can be repeated several times during the day, whenever you feel the need to relieve swelling or pain. The ointment should only be applied 3 to 4 times a day, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In most cases, these steps are enough to improve symptoms and relieve the discomfort caused by the bite in a few minutes, however, if the pain does not improve or the symptoms become more intense, preventing hand movement, for example, it is very important go to the hospital as you may be developing a severe allergic reaction, which needs to be treated with more specific medications.

The wasp usually only bites when it feels threatened, so hornet nests that are out of reach usually don't cause any problems.

How long does it take to deflate
In many cases, the swelling from the wasp sting lasts only 1 day, and it improves significantly after the application of the cold compress. However, people who are more sensitive to insect venom may have a more exaggerated reaction, which makes the swelling last longer, up to 2 or 3 days.

Although it is rarer, there are also people in whom the swelling can get better and get worse again after 2 days of the bite, lasting for up to 7 days. In these situations, in addition to the application of a cold compress, you can also keep the bite site higher, especially while sleeping, to speed up recovery.

What are the symptoms of wasp bite
The symptoms presented after a wasp sting can vary according to the sensitivity of each person, but the most common are usually:

• Severe pain at the sting site;
• Swelling and redness;
• Burning sensation on the sting;
• Difficulty to move the spot on the sting.

Although wasp stings cause symptoms that are not dangerous to health, there are people who are more sensitive to its venom. In these cases, a more severe allergic reaction, known as an anaphylactic reaction, can occur, which can be identified through symptoms such as very intense itching in the area, swelling of the lips and face, feeling of a ball in the throat or difficulty breathing. In these situations, one should immediately go to the hospital or call for medical help, to start treatment with steroids and anti-allergic drugs.

Learn more about how to identify an anaphylactic reaction and how it is treated .

when to go to the hospital
In most cases, wasp stings can be treated at home without major complications. However, it is important to go to the hospital when:

• The swelling takes more than 1 week to go away;
• Symptoms worsen over time;
• There is a lot of difficulty in moving the sting site;
• Swelling of the face or difficulty breathing occurs.

Usually, in these cases it is necessary to start the treatment with drugs directly in the vein, such as antihistamines, corticoids or antibiotics, for example.
