I found this information on a website. I hope this helps. \n\n\nThe most successful way I've used to get rid of fleas was as follows:\n\n1. Fill a shallow, large basin with soapy water.\n2. Place it on the floor of the room where the fleas are located.\n3. Place a shade-less lamp next to the basin.\n4. Turn off all lights in the room except for this lamp.\n\nThe fleas are attracted to the light. They will try jumping at the light but when they come back down from their jump, they will land on the water. Normally, they are too light to break the water's surface tension. However, the soap weakens the surface tensions and the fleas drown.\n\nThe first time I tried this, it took a couple of nights for all fleas to be gone.\n\nAlso, be sure to regularly wash your pets, particularly if they've been outside.\n\nIf the flea bites on you are itchy, try a baking soda bath. This will often soothe itching in a lot of people. Chamomile lotion may also work.

Windex works, so does rubbing alcohol. Use paper towel.

Head Lice Home Remedies\nIf you don't want to use a chemical on your child's head, the most effective treatment that doesn't involve using any products at all simply involves removing the nits and live lice with a lice comb and/or tweezers. This is the method that is advocated by The National Pediculosis Association. It can be time consuming to do this and you may have to repeat the procedure for several days to make sure you get them all, but this is likely the best thing to do. You still have to take the time to comb out all of the nits anyway even if you use an anti-lice shampoo, as these shampoos don't kill the eggs. If you don't, they will just hatch and you will have live lice again.\n\nMost other natural home remedies involve putting something on your child's scalp and hair to 'smother' the head lice. Popular choices include real mayonnaise, olive oil, and vaseline. These are usually left on overnight, often under a shower cap, and then washed out the next day. They can be very messy though and have not really been proven to work. Some experts believe that this method 'works' because you actually remove the nits and lice as you try to get this stuff out of the child's hair.\n\nThere are also herbal remedies to treat head lice, including products with tea tree oil and other essential oils. Because they are 'natural,' these are not regulated by the FDA, have not been proven to work, and should be used with caution and avoided in younger children.

To get rid of them in the house, try this:\nGet a shiny foil pie pan and a bright light (like a desk lamp) Put a couple of drops of dish soap in the pan and some water and mix them together - not super sudsy. Put the pan in a dark room (at night is ideal) and shine the lamp right into the center of the pan. \nThose little buggers will be attracted to the shine, jump in, and because of the soap, can't jump out, and will drown.

Go to your local pharmacy or drugstore.  You can purchase a product called "RID". Its a shampoo that kills headlice.  Once you've shampooed, you'll take the small comb, that comes with the shampoo to comb the hair to remove dead lice or possible eggs that may be attatched.  Very important to stip bed of sheets and pillow cases and wash in hot water as soon as possible, too.   Good luck!  (Rid is sold over the counter, btw..so don't be embarrassed.)

Not long but the problem isn't getting rid of the adults, it's getting rid of the eggs.  Just immersing the head in water isn't going to help that.\n\nSee the link below.  You need to both shampoo with lice killer and also use some kind of pesticide for your whole house, especially the room where the person who has lice sleeps.

The problem is that you can't kill the eggs. The nits are encased in a very strong type substance that cannot be penetrated. The most important thing is to retreat the hair after 7 to 10 days and you HAVE to get all the nits out by hand or by comb.  I find those plastic combs ineffective. I ordered a metal comb called medi comb from a dealer on ebay. It works the best but you will still need to hand pick some. They are such a pain! Also using hair styling products (after hair is nit/lice free) daily helps prevent reinfestation from contant with others (at school/bus/etc.). I also flat iron/or hot iron curl her hair at times or braid it. Anything that keeps it back or helps to kill those pests! Also watch closely the friends they play with and if you see any kind of scratching check the child immediately and send them home to tell their parents if you find any nits or anything. Check over the ears and nape of the neck. Also they do make lice repellent spray that you can order (search online) it's mostly tea tree oil, eucalyptus, geranium, and other essential oils mixed with water but it could help if your child is in close proximity of other children and lice is a reoccurring problem. Prevention is the best medicine.

So much to say...  There is a good possibility that these worms are not coming from a person using the shower, but live in or around the shower themselves.  Unless you are using your shower as a toilet, intestinal worms shouldn't show up in the shower.  There is a group of insects called drain flies that specialize in shower and sink drains.  They are harmless and should go away if you keep your drains clean.  They look like small dark sort of fuzzy worms with dark head capsules.  The adults are small, light grey with broad wings that end in a point. They are very fuzzy and are sometimes called moth flies.  I think they're cute.  Here's a link to a picture of an adult: http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ento.psu.edu/ImageGallery/HouseMisc/Thumbs/Drain-fly03%2520Psychoda%2520lar117.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ento.psu.edu/ImageGallery/HouseMisc-2.htm&h=47&w=112&sz=4&tbnid=TMswDgiCpWjSLM:&tbnh=33&tbnw=81&hl=en&ei=ZiSMRPrzHI-SaeODwZMK&sig2=fHNR_-1ZtGtltcYvlFMWFA&start=1&prev=/images%3Fq%3Ddrain%2Bfly%2Blarva*%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26client%3Dsafari%26rls%3Den-us%26sa%3DN

Leeches can help heal skin grafts and restore blood circulation. Their primary function is to drain blood. Pooled blood around a wound can threaten tissue survival.\nLeeches apply the perfect amount of suction to get the blood flowing

Here in Indiana we have a major infestation in our homes.  Last weekend, I had to kill 200 of the little pesky buggers!  I take a paper cup and fill it with about 2 inches of rubbing aclk.  then I swoup them in that cup by the windows, etc.  It takes care of them instantly.

Bless your heart...I've  been there a time or two myself.  My daughter is extremely allergic to the shampoos for lice.  So i researched and found a natural alternative.  I use mayonnaise.  I slather our heads down thoroughly..put on a good shower cap and keep it on ALL day long.  Before we wash it out we use the blow dryer to heat the mayonnaise through the shower cap and then shampoo out.  Add tea trea oil to the shampoo and allow to sit for awhile and rinse and REPEAT.  You have to get the nits when you're done.  And don't forget to do the whole house.  I spray the carpet wit vinegar daily and then vacuum ever day for about a month.  \n\nhope the info helps.\n\nWhether everyone has them or not ALL need to be treated and also retreated in a few days...just as a precaution\n\nskipping family not infested , skipping the retreat and failing to do what's needed in the house can leave "stones unturned" and you could end up with a headache later.  You also should let the parents of other kids they play with know so they can take appropriate measures.  And be aware that some kids can re infest if their parents don't take approp. measures...
