So there I was, a syringe of the horse dewormer from Tractor Supply Co for $12.99 in one hand, a spoonful of no-sugar-added peanut butter in the other hand. I over dispensed the amount I was supposed to take onto the spoon of peanut butter. It was enough Zimecterin for a 250 lb horse, but I’m only 200 lbs! I waited for a couple of hours, and then that’s when it all started.
Nothing. Nothing happened from me taking an increased amount from the recommended dosage for horses and it’s been around 16 hours. Nothing yet, at least. Here’s to hoping this annoying case of blepharitis goes away and the pimple-like bumps on my scalp stop coming up. Will probably take some more in a couple of weeks in case any babes are hatched inside of me.
Try coconut oil instead of petroleum jelly. You might find a real difference; it's naturally antibacterial. Also, a little goes a long way. If you find it's not potent enough, you could add a few drops (only a few) of tea tree oil to coconut oil for use on the scalp. I treated dandruff that way, it worked like a charm. But you don't want to use tea tree oil in your shampoo or conditioner because it doesn't do much for the texture of your hair; best used only on the scalp and rinsed/shampooed off after maybe 10 minutes. You are right about the shampoos - sulfates are a problem too and people are moving away from them. That's why all of a sudden you see Garnier and Pantene commercials for "sulfate free" products, they're losing money now that people are figuring it out.
Careful of what I said.
They claim to have "sulfate free" products.
Look at the back... The still have "sulfonates"
They still have sulfur acids in them.
That's not to say sulfur is bad. Raw sulfur on its own is oxidative, which can leave you more alkaline.
Sulfuric, sulfurous, sulfonate, sulfate -- They are acidic, generally.
L'Oreal's Sulfate Free Volume Shampoo for instance has the following:

Very well said!
