HELP! /sci/! My house has had this weird infestation of gnats (in the dead of winter...)

Anyway, I they are real apparent in or bathrooms. Where I take a shower.

A few minutes ago, I noticed a worm like thing drop out of my hair. And then another.

WHAT THE SHIT DO I DO. THEY HAVE LAID THEIR EGGS IN MY HEAD. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE MOTHER OF GNAT LARVAE.

Use some sort of antibacterial shampoo?

>> No.2248937

you can probably get the eggs out with a lice comb or something.
maybe your local pharmacy sells some special shampoo or whatever that'll kill them

>> No.2248946

Accept them into your life and become one of them
gain their trust and when they feel comfortable
you strike

They might crawl into your ears and nest there though; but that's very rare.

Go to the ER. Ask them WTF is living in your hair. You're lucky if it's just living in your hair. There are a lot of horrible parasites that burrow into the skin.

If those gnats looks like fuzzy black dots, they are just drain flies/moth flies. They don't lay eggs in your hair but they live in drain clots, so appear around bathrooms.

Your parents will think nothing of worms falling out of your hair? Your parents suck.

>> No.2249039

Get gnats? Don't want em hanging around anymore?
Don't worry, this posts got you covered.

Gather supplies. you will need.

small bowl, enough water to cover the bottom in an inch of water. some apple cider vinegar, about a cap or two full, and a single drop of dish soap.

mix that shit together for a second. after a day you will see a lot of gnats in the fluid. replace this mixture daily until you don't see any more gnats.
