Just after some advice please. Friends mum let us know she had them so I immediately combed through my dd and found one tiny louse (could only see it was one by using microscope app on phone!). This was last Monday (31st July). Last contact with infected child (or any friends) was Sun 23rd July. Have combed every day since and also did a lyclear treatment on Tues 1st as had hairdressers (told hairdresser who did a very thorough check and couldn't find any lice or eggs. Have since found nothing other than a couple of tiny black dots (ragged/square shape under microscope) and one tiny light brown dot yesterday which looks vaguely egg like under microscope. Pics attached hopefully. I also religiously use vosene anti lice shampoo and spray so wonder if that helped with stopping them taking hold? Should I still be worried? Going to keep combing daily for another week at least. I'm very phobic about these so the last week has been a struggle! Thank you.
