So this is our first nits on my adult age. My DD (20m/o) and I got them. Just saw them this morning and have been to the chemist already and got the lotion and the comb. But must say I am sooooo terribly disgusted, I am really thinking on chopping all my hair!!!!
Anyway, what has me mystified is to think how did we get them as she only goes to a playgroup once every two weeks, and we have only a couple of friends with children and I haven't seen them having "prolonged head contact". I don't know if DP has them as I just discovered them, but he didn't complain of itchiness. Any ideas? I'd like to avoid contagious situations as you can imagine!
And also any advice on how to get rid of them? I did listen to the pharmacyst but maybe anyone has more advice.
Thanks!
