know how to stop one once it starts. If you're lying down, flex your toes towards you. That stretches the muscles that are cramping and will pull out the cramp quickly.

I tell you what shampoo WILL prevent lice...sm
At Sally's the generic Paul Mitchell's tea tree oil shampoo. Tea Tree Oil kills lice so if you shampoo with it it prevents them. It is not a lice killer it is just regular shampoo.
