Nits are not completely killed during the treatment of pediculosis. Therefore, repeated treatment with a 3% glacial acetic acid solution (1 part of vinegar/2 parts of water) is necessary to dissolve the adhesive with which the nits adhere to the hair shaft. The hair is soaked with the vinegar solution, a towel is moistened and wrapped around the head. After one hour remove the towel and comb out the nits.
