to think that if your dc has head lice, you should inform the school??

Gah. Noticed ds had headlice last week. Treated him then sent to school as normal, and told school.

Checked dd when she got home - different school. Lots of headlice . Treated her, sent her to school the next day, told the school, and same day got the Text of Shame saying 'a dc in your dc's class has headlice, pls check your child'. DD came home from school on Fri and said that a girl in her class told her she had had headlice for 2 weeks!!

Gah. Shouldn't her parents have informed school?? It's probably spread round the entire class! So selfish.

DC havent had headlice for 3 years before this!!

Most wicked, they reviewed standard Hedrin which requires two applications a week apart because it doesn't kill the eggs.

I use hedrin once which requires only one application because it does kill the eggs.

I have never had success with Headrin and I am amazed that it gets so much praise on MN. Full Marks solution is the one that works for us. It is awful to rinse out and takes at least 3 shampoos and even then the hair looks like it's been washed in chip fat but it works for me so I'm sticking with it.
