Has anyone tried to use pure rubbing alcohol to kill lice?

It is the ONLY I use any more. The traditional treatments and prescriptions do NOT work as the little buggers have adapted. Pour the rubbing alcohol in a plastic disposable cup and grab a nit comb, dip the comb and start combing. It actually works. After every combthrough re-dip the comb in the alcohol to keep it saturated. The aclcohol dries the bugs and eggs out VERY quickly, and ends the infestation. The bedding spray is still very effective, so continue to use it, and remember to WASH everything you can in hot water and sanitize everything else. After using the alcohol treatment, rinse the childs hair, and put conditioner in it for 7-10 days. This keeps the hair slick and any buggers you didnt get, from multiplying. 8 days after the first treatment, remember to re-spray everything, mattresses, carpets, everything that cant fit in the washer. And check your childs head on a regualr basis if this epidemic runs rampant in your community, it will help cut down on a re-infestation.
