This happened me bonkerz except I was breastfeeding and my eldes two got them and I got them too. I found the best thing was wetcombing with loads of conditioner. I left the conditioner in as well. It all took about two weeks to get rid of them but I am afraid it does take a long time to break the cycle. I am itchy just thinking about it now.

I seemed particularly susceptible to dsd's nits when I was pregnant. My GP prescribed Lyclear.
