Presumably head lice🤣

If you have any sort of nit comb, or even a normal fine comb, I would try to comb the kids as best you can tomorrow, just dry. You are not trying to get the eggs out, just some or most of the mobile nits. Then everyone into school and work as normal, with any long hair well tied up.

Then get that stuff after school tomorrow and treat.

We have always treated nits with just a combing schedule very effectively, I think you'll be fine.

Can you condition hair then nit comb/fine comb?

Agree with the conditioning & combing through to try & remove the blighters.

Don't forget to treat EVERYONE. 😉

Thanks all, I think I was being paranoid. The DC seem fine this morning, no signs. I have trouble with a dry sensitive (and itchy) scalp and last night convinced myself it must be headlice
