Any advice or cures that have worked for you would be greatly appreciated.

My sis is nearly at breaking point now

Shave the head

Or comb through with conditioner every 2-3 days for about 3 weeks

Done the conditioner thing every night now for about 4 weeks, my sisters fingers are red raw...nothing will kill them.
Wash the bed linen daily, even resorted to giving the kids odourless garlic capsules cos we'd heard nits dont like garlic?

Cant shave there heads cos there girls and that would be so humiliating for them.

Dye her hair with something that has hydrogen peroxide. It will kill anything. But you still have to get it out of fibers where she sleeps.

surely there's something that doctors would recommend?

Theres a lot of new solutions in Boots the chemist now. Ask there advice a girl at Adam's school kept getting them and her mom went there and they sold her some solution in a big green bottle,and damn i can't remember the name. Ask there anyway hun and good luck

Buy permethrin spray and wash for everything in your house. Use vinegar for the head, and if it is really bad, live in a hotel for a few days. The lice cannot live without a host for more than 3 days, so if keeping the house clean is impossible that will most certainly help.

Eww! lice are SUCH a pain in the a** to get rid of! My son brought them home from college. He and his girlfriend both got them. I was so freaked out I wouldnt' help with it at all. They applied the stuff to one another and combed them out of each other's hair like little monkies. GOod luck and dont' get too close to anyone with them!


To a tennis player, love means nothing.

We've done the docs, over the counter stuff, washing the bed linin daily, bandana's....its just getting beyond a joke now.

Cant put peroxide on a 7 year olds head.

The school wont help, sending letters out, nit nurse etc...my sis is getting to the point now she's getting ratty with the kids cos its just a constant battle, she's even sent them into school with dirty hair hoping that would deter them...but no!

Thanks guys

my boys had them constantly for yrs i done everything,shaved heads,solutions conditioner though that had a affect insted of using the comb i used to use kitchen roll to get the conditioner out,that worked pretty well but the only time it stopped was when they left junior school,i used to send letters i cos id get the boys totally clean and by the next week they were back again.


A great man once told me,
I was beutiful,
SO I MARRIED HIM.
Now he tells me every day.

Go to the newspapers with it. Get public attention drawn to the lice pandemic at that school, and something will get done.

If they were my children I wouldn't send them to that school anymore, I would change districts.


EARTH FIRST! We'll strip-mine the other planets later.

has she tried tea tree oil, iv'e heard it works

Have her try Nix. That should kill the lice. If she feels that she still has the lice after about 2 weeks, she should do another application.

Manual removal of lice and eggs may be a long and tedious process but it works if done diligently.

There are products you can use to help prevent infestation, the best one I found (and best smelling one too) is a spray made by KP24, simply called KP24 Head Lice Spray. It really worked for us. It sells for between $12 to $20 (huge price difference I know, you go figure). My daughter was lice free as long as we used it, but as soon as we stopped using it the lice would return.
