Allergic, bacterial, fungal, metabolic, neoplastic, and even psychological disorders can cause pruritis, the sensation that provokes the desire to scratch, rub, chew, or lick.

Why are the kids still scratching?

FAQ about NITMIX treatment and removing headlice naturally
Most living creatures have little mechanisms in their bodies for fighting off anything that invades them. They also have warning systems to tell us something is not right. When we get stung or bitten by a bug a very complicated reaction gets set off which is partly warning, partly healing. Swelling, redness and itchiness are all part of this reaction. With head lice we need to get bitten many times before we feel the itchy bit, some people don't get itchy at all.

Other treatments may be cheaper, but they can involve multiple dosings per day for several weeks.

What is the ringing in my head/ears?

American Hearing Aid Associates - Contact Form
The ringing sensation that can be detected in your head, or individual ears, is called tinnitus. This ringing is usually an indication of some damage to your auditory system (especially noise damage). It can be constant or periodic and on one specific side or in the middle of your head. There is no magic cure for tinnitus, but there are methods that can help you live with it. Sometimes hearing aids help by bringing more sound to the brain, thus distracting attention from the ringing.

Can both ears be candled at the sane time?

Alist wellness Center - About Colon Hydrotherapy
We do not recommend it. There are Ear Candles on the market that are curved and made just for that purpose. It also takes a very experienced Ear Candler to use those candles and they don't seem to give the desired results as when one ear is cleaned at a time. Also, the massage of the face and neck can not be done when doing both ears so my answer will remain a "NO" to this question.

Are there any special precautions I should take once I've shaved my head for the first time?

Frequently Asked Questions - HeadShaver.org
If you shave your head in the warmer part of the year, you'll probably notice that your freshly shaved scalp is lighter in colour than your face and the rest of your body. This is because your hair has been sheltering your scalp, and the skin hasn't synthesized melanin (ie. you haven't tanned in that area). At this point, your scalp is more vulnerable to getting sunburned than the rest of your skin.
