A member asked:
I had crabs, i shaved my whole body and applied tea tree oil and i got rid of all the nits, also washed everything, will that be enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Shaving and nit removal may not be sufficient, and tea tree oil is not effective either. Use an insecticide treatment like permethrin lotion.
