HELP my 4 year old step-daughter got head lice last Friday, it is now Wednesday night. We did the shampoo on Friday and Saturday and then Tuesday we went to the doctor and got the o.k. to go back to daycare. Wednesday morning 30 minutes after dropping her off at daycare we got a call that she had head lice again. We cleaned everything thoroughly and washed all the linens. ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
I just found out that my daughters friend has head lice and we have never had it before!!! She slept over our house two days ago and has been coming over all day every day. I noticed her scratching her head the other day and was wondering if it could be anything and her mom said she checked her head and didn't see anything. Well tonight my daughter was over their house going to sleep over and they called and said they found nits!! OMG I have three girls and I don't know what to do. I am in the process of washing all the bed sheets now. A friend came over tonight and checked my oldest daughter and said she didn't see anything! I forgot to tell you that I brushed her hair the morning she slept over with the same brush I use on all my girls! What do I do, my husband is mad and I told him things happen and it's not something that we could have prevented. I know most kids do get it sometime but now that I'm faced with it I was overwhelmed, I even was crying! Please give me some good adivse!!!Thanks in advance!
Our school has an epidemic of head lice! Now we are having to deal with it, along with our nearest neighbors. What really works, and what should I avoid? Thanks for any help!
Help!! My 5 month old son was exposed to head lice by his cousins and we don't know what to do! Today was the first day they knew about it and I don't think they have it that bad, but he was at their house all day (my sister watches my son while I am at work). When I picked my son up tonight, my sister was using RID on her kids. I am taking him to work with me tomorrow but don't even know where to begin with this stuff! Oh, and he has a full head of hair, to make things worse!!
