Hello I am really after some advice, I am so frustrated with this problem as it's being going on for 3-4 years on and off! My son is in junior school and has headlice 3-4 times a year, which is due to one individual child whose parent doesn't bother about it, I will treat him with hedrin occasionally but then every 2-3 days nitty gritty comb him, he's clear then a few days later they are back again , when my daughter catches them it's a nightmare as her hair us so long and thick it takes hours to comb through , my point is I'm at my wits end as this one child keeps giving them him and even jokes to him by putting his head next to him, the school do send letters out warning parents which is fine if Everybody addressed the problem, I feel like trying to make a stand and not sending him into school, but it will be my sons education that suffers? But I feel I send him to school to learn not to be continuously reinfected with headlice? I've been advised to speak to school nurse, but they don't do anything? And even suggested to speak to social services re the neglect of this child? I don't want to cause trouble I just want the problem resolving? I have spoke to other parents who also feel the same and wondered if anybody could offer some advice on the problem, not getting rid of the nits!!! Thanks
