Jack Lawson Sends: Lice, Part Two: Treatment

This excerpt comes from Chapters 16 and 36 of Jack Lawson’ two volume masterpiece, “Civil Defense Manual”. You can grab a copy of his book here. Jack is a strong supporter of American Partisan, and even had NC Scout write the chapter on Radio Communications (Chapter 17 in Volume I). I bought my copy the day it become available and I highly recommend you do as well.


How to get rid of Body Lice
Washing both clothes and body. Wash the affected body area with hot soap and water and wash all clothing and bedding with hot soap and water and then mop and clean all living areas. Dry clothes in as high a heat as you can.
Essential Oils. Treat the skin and clothing with essential oils… rosemary, citronella, eucalyptus, tea tree oil, lemon grass, lavender oil, neem oil (from an Asian-Indian evergreen tree), clove oil, aniseed oil, cinnamon leaf oil, red thyme oil. All of these oils have a smell that drives lice away or kills them.
How to get rid of Head and Pubic Lice without chemicals
Smother head and pubic lice. ‘Suffocating’ treatments. First coat the hair with olive, almond or like non-skin irritating oils, fats or greases. Some people suggest coating the comb with oil as needed instead of the hair with the oil.
For head lice try wet-combing. Washing the hair alone does not remove lice. Use the traditional wet-combing process. This is a way of removing lice from the hair with a fine-toothed comb and it makes the lice more visible where you can distinguish it from dandruff. If you don’t have olive oil, it’s one of the few ways to get rid of head lice.
Wet-combing involves using a fine-toothed comb and a magnifying glass to examine each small area of hair and remove the individual lice and nits from each strand. Separate the hair into small sections as you work using a hair clip to move them out of the way. Do this with a head band light or other good light so you can see the lice. Rinse out the comb often under running hot water.
Wash, rinse, wash again and rinse again. Once you’ve completely combed the hair, wash the person’s hair with soap, rinse it and repeat with washing again. This is a pain in the butt, but do this every day for a week… then check by combing every night for a couple of weeks to make sure the lice are gone.
Again, Essential Oils. Treat the lice with essential oils rosemary, citronella, eucalyptus, tea tree oil, lemon grass, lavender oil, neem oil (from an Asian-Indian evergreen tree), clove oil, aniseed oil, cinnamon leaf oil, red thyme oil. All of these oils have a smell that drives lice away or kills them.
How to get rid of lice with Chemical Treatment using “Rid Pediculicide”
Generic name: piperonyl butoxide (pronounced “pye PER oh nil bue TOX ide”) and pyrethrin topical (pronounced “pye REE thrin TOP i kal”)
Brand names: A-200 Lice Treatment, Good Sense Lice Killing Shampoo, Step 1, Leader Lice Solution, Pronto Lice Kill System, R & C Lice Treatment Kit, Rid Pediculicide, Tegrin-LT Lice Treatment Kit, Triple X Pediculicide
When you’re done exterminating lice
Wash all towels, materials you used, clean the area you worked in and clean out the lice comb. Soak the comb in a mild bleach solution or vinegar for 30 minutes, or boil it in water for 10 minutes.

You’ll experience lice during a Collapse Of Society
When a Collapse Of Society occurs or even a Prolonged Crisis, you can be certain that lice will reappear as an unwelcome guest of your CDM Neighborhood Protection Plan™ Group Members and other people everywhere.
What is a Catastrophic Event?
Most of us in the world live, more or less, in Normal Civility where we’re not killing each other for food and water. After a Catastrophic Event, an Area Emergency will occur. The term Area Emergency refers to the interruption of normal day to day living, or Normal Civility, that society will experience after a Catastrophic Event. If not corrected, this Area Emergency can progress to a worsening state, that of a Crisis. A Crisis can deteriorate into a more damaging and worse state… that of a Prolonged Crisis.
A Catastrophic Event is a disaster that could lead to A Collapse Of Society. I referred to this in an earlier book as ‘A Failure of Civility,’ which was the title of that book. But that term just doesn’t fit all the aspects and doesn’t fully convey, nor encompass, the reality and all facets of what would happen as A Collapse Of Society does in this book.
A Catastrophic Event or Extraordinary Catastrophic Event that would turn into A Collapse Of Society would be a total lack of concern for others and it would be everyone for themselves. Life would, to a large extent, become survival by brutality and use of force… survival by force of weapons. Much worse than what you just read.
A Prolonged Crisis is the stage which will precede A Collapse Of Society if Critical Life Supplies and Services are exhausted and not resupplied. Civil order will not be able to be maintained without those two items of Critical Life Supplies and Services being available to all people… water and food.
An Extraordinary Catastrophic Event is the most severe of disasters. Your world will plunge inevitably into A Collapse Of Society from an Extraordinary Catastrophic Event, with little time for progression through stages and it will progress to cause extreme suffering and death.
An Extraordinary Catastrophic Event is the most severe of a Catastrophic Events. With an Extraordinary Catastrophic Event… the normal stages of progression from Normal Civility to A Collapse Of Society would not take place. If an Extraordinary Catastrophic Event occurs… your existence would go directly from Normal Civility to A Collapse Of Society inevitably and in some cases very quickly. Not over stages of time but immediately or accelerated.
If people will fight over the latest fad toy for their children at Christmas time, turn into a violent mob over the newest footwears’ first release, stab one another over who was first in line for a trendy chicken sandwich… it takes little imagination as to what they’ll do when there is a shortage of food and water.
I don’t have to imagine, because I’ve seen the beast in the human many times. Most people haven’t, so they have little to go by. Civilization is a very thin veneer on mankind and most people can’t visualize the desperation people will have. Man is a beast, who wears shoes and clothes… and pretends otherwise. Read “Sapiens… A Brief History of Humankind,” by Yuval Noah Harari.
So rioting, starvation and destruction can’t happen in America!?
A partial quote from Mike Shelby that I get through my subscription to ForwardObserver.com
InFocus: What happens when the rules collapse?
“Last week, a poll from George Washington University found that 55% of Republicans agreed that the use of force may be required to protect the “traditional American way of life.” Overall, roughly a third of respondents said that they agreed or strongly agreed with the statement. On another question, 47% of Republicans agreed that a “time will come when patriotic Americans have to take the law into their own hands.” Republicans also reported less trust in state election officials than Democrats, 44% to 76%, respectively. Some 41% of all respondents said that they are “not too confident” or “not at all confident” in the 2022 elections. As with all polling data, I express some level of skepticism, although I do agree that these results are generally true, if not accurate.”
Again, I encourage Americans to store food and water and to organize neighbors for self-protection as I’ve outlined in the Civil Defense Manual at CivilDefenseManual.com. I do this for a reason… like what has happened in South Africa recently.
I also urge Americans to move from the major populated metropolitan areas into a more firearms and common-sense area of less people per square mile.

    The Ancient Egyptians used to pluck all the hair from their bodies. They would have plucking parties and everyone would use tweezers to pluck their own hairs and each others. The assumed reason was the control of Lice, Fleas, and Mites. If you ever wondered why the Egyptians are always portrayed as bald and hairless in the movies, that’s why.
    Also, I recommend people prepare to remove lice from their animals as well. You can easily purchase half a gallon of animal soap. Just as the ancients needed cats to eat the vermin and keep them out of their gardens and silos, so will we. Same with dogs of all sizes.
    I have had lice several times in my life. It’s not fun. It’s quite a bit of work to alleviate the problem.

      In regards to livestock, it is a good idea to stock up on a few jugs of lice treatment. It can be bought without spending a lot of money, works well, and keeps for a LONG time. And it goes a long ways since it doesn’t take much. The brand I have used in the past is Synergized De-Lice, I am still using the first gallon that I bought around 15 years ago for some goats with a bad lice infestation. I would imagine it would be useable on humans as well, but I don’t have any info on that. It only takes a few CC’s for a goat to get rid of the lice, and lice will cause major problems on your livestock as JP said.
      As a side note, Sevin dust can be used on dogs to help get rid of fleas, and is a relatively safe pesticide to use.

    WWES,could the Synergized products also work on dogs or is that a no-no for some reason.
    Would like to if possible have a one product treats all critters if possible.

    • wwes August 10, 2021 at 11:03

      I’m not sure- that would be an off label use, so I haven’t really seen info out there about it. The ingredients are permethrin and piperonyl butoxide, so it isn’t any kind of exotic or unknown chemical composition. It is used a lot for cattle rubs around here for lice and flies, and the label even give instructions on how to mix it for that use.
      Here is a link to it if you want to look into it more:
      Synergized De Lice

      • James August 10, 2021 at 11:27

        Thanks,this is the best price I have found pergallon by a long shot,even better if you want 2 and a half gallons: https://www.cactusvalleytx.com/products/synergized-de-lice ,will research more and then if cozy with results order a large container while I still can.

        • wwes August 10, 2021 at 11:32

          That’s a better price than I got mine for years ago, thanks for the link!

    A proven way to get rid of those pesky bugs, and many others, is an Ozone Generator.
    One can get one for below 100 bucks. Can sanitize one room at a time (taping up door frame,vent)
    prior, or entire house, truck, car, or structure, provided animals or plants are taken out.
    Read up on Ozone Generators (O3). Great mediation technology to have, even to sterilize water.

    I’ve heard that diatomaceous earth can be used to treat lice. Fortunately haven’t had the opportunity to try it out.

    • Paulo August 10, 2021 at 16:40

      Used a few pounds of diatomaceous earth and dropped into intake
      of an electric leaf blower and coverred the backyard with it for flea control.
      Always good to get the food grade 50lb bag from PermaGuard, I think
      out of Wyoming. The bag has a picture of a horse, a chicken, a hog and
      a goat.
      Neem tree oil might work better for lice on skin, but its kind of stinky,
      But it stcks!
      Platoon got the crabs once and noticed right after boarding Ship after
      boonies training. Ended up throwing all bunk mattresses offboard
      ship and putting some creamy white cream.
      bulkapothecary dot com has plenty of many items people might be interested in
      on the “natural side”

    Good thing about the colon in the title. Big difference between Jack Lawson sends: lice… and Jack Lawson sends lice…
