Dd had them a while ago, maybe two months. I treated her and used a comb, a cheap plastic one. Seemed to work, no nits.

Now I have them. I treated myself with hedrin though still feel itchy, think that is paranoia. I can still see the brown eggs though.

How do I rid myself? Just wait and do the second treatment? Don't think dh will do a proper job of combing. Can't comb myself, it is just not possible.

Dd has eggs, but no lice! So will go back to combing with her.

Hi I had an identical situation.
Buy some leave in conditioner and a NITTY GRITTY comb.
I self combed / DH every day for a week to ensure u get rid of all eggs, surviving stray. Awful!
