Wasn't sure where to put this really, so it's here!
Discovered HL in dd's hair this morning, so took her to bathroom and wet her hair, then conditioned it heavily and combed through with nit comb. Removed all live lice and as many eggs as I could see and will probably 'treat' her later today, but, school were very funny about her being 'treated' and saying she shouldn't be there unless she is 'treated'. As far as I'm concerned, I didn't have time to treat with chemical stuff as ds1 was going on a trip, so we couldn't be very late, although we were a little late because of the time taken to condition and thoroughly comb her hair.
But what I want to know, is whether or not they may insist on this form of treatment. They have accepted her, but only when I said I had treated her (not mentioning with what). I felt really upset at the time!
