Problem: Article: Thoroughly clean your genital area before applying any kind of lice lotion or cream. Your skin will absorb the lotion better if dirt and dust are removed from the skin and pubic hair. Right after washing and cleaning the genital area, be sure to dry it thoroughly as most of the creams and lotions need to be applied on dry and clean hair. Read and follow the package instructions carefully to get the most benefit from the product that you have chosen. Remember to ask your doctor if you have any questions about how to use the product. Thoroughly saturate the infested area with the product, according to the directions on the package. Shampoos may only need to be left on for about 10 minutes, but lotions and creams may need to be left on for 8-14 hours. Note the time when you apply the product and set a timer or watch the time. After you have left the product on for the indicated amount of time, rinse it off with warm water. Rinsing away the product will help to remove dead nits and lice from your skin. It is important to rinse the dead parasites away because they may lead to hygiene problems if left on your skin.  Be sure to separate the towels you used from your other clothes and linens. Wash the towels separately to avoid cross-contamination to other clothing and linens. In some cases where nits stay in the base of the hair, you can just remove them using your fingernails or a fine toothed comb. Make sure that you put on clean, fresh undergarments and clothing to prevent a recurrence of the infestation. Any clothes that you wore when you had crabs should be immediately laundered. Infested clothes, bed linens, and towels should be washed in hot water. The hotter your washing machine goes, the better. Use at least 130F water. All clothes and linens should also be dried in a hot dryer until they are completely dry.  You should wash any soft materials that you used 2-3 days before your treatment.  Infested blankets, quilts, and carpets can be stored in a sealed plastic bag for 1 to 2 weeks to eventually kill the lice. This way, they are not able to feed on any blood and subsequently die. You can repeat the procedure in about a week. Follow the directions on the box or from your doctor. Even if you think the crabs are gone, it's best to repeat treatment just to be sure. There are some cases where lice relocate to other areas and will come back right after treating your genital area; however, this doesn't happen often.
Summary: Wash the genital area. Apply the lice-killing product that you have selected. Pay attention to how much time you should leave the product on your pubic area. Rinse off the medication and dry thoroughly. Change into new, clean clothes. Wash all fabrics that could be contaminated. Repeat treatment if lice are still present.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Don’t kick yourself while you’re down, but think about how you can learn from being ghosted. There’s no way to guarantee that you won’t find yourself in a similar situation, but you might find ways to be more selective of friends or dates in the future. Remember to stay positive instead of finding ways to blame yourself. Practice constructive self-criticism, such as, “I put more effort into making plans than they did, and should avoid similar situations in the future.” Think about your interactions with the person, and try to remember any signs that they weren’t that into the relationship. Did you get into a fight, or did they seem to gradually lose interest in talking? Were you always the one who called or asked to make plans? Again, don’t get down on yourself as you think about warning signs that went unnoticed. The point is to identify red flags to look for in future relationships. It never feels good to be rejected, but try to see the bigger picture. Experiencing heartbreak can help you cope with grief in the future. As much as it hurts now, you’ll feel better soon. The next time you’re in a tough situation, think back to this, and remind yourself that things will get better. Having been ghosted yourself, you’ll know that it’s not the best way to end a relationship. When you have to break up with someone or end a friendship, try to be kind, but get straight to the point. For example, you might say, “I’ve enjoyed the time we’ve had together, and this is tough for me to say. I don’t think it’s going to work out in the long run. I hope you understand, and I wish you all the best.”

SUMMARY: Look for ways to grow, but don’t blame yourself. Ask yourself if there were any red flags that you ignored. View rejection as a blessing in disguise. Remember your grief when you break up with people in the future.
