Please please help - head lice. Worst infestation I've ever seen

[LEMtheoriginal]

I am horrified and disgusted. My poor dd

We had visitors just before Xmas and we used headrin two weeks - sorted. Or so we thought.

Just done DD'S hair with here in once as she was itchy and I've never seen anything like it

I have been combing them out of DD'S hair since 7pm and it's horrific. Like millions of them I am mortified. Like a black film of nits and it's never ending.

I need to know what to use or should I take her to the Dr? I feel we need something stronger but what??

[LEMtheoriginal]

I have it has more to do with people not reacting to the toxins from the insect bites - so I get massacred whilst dp doesn't seem to get bitten.

Mine have never had nits.

@LEMtheoriginal I wish! Honestly though I just hate them so much and have seen so many friends wasting time and money on other treatments not to mention the pain and suffering of the poor kids getting them again and again.

I never got them myself in primary school but had them so many times in secondary school. My mother never brought the stuff and she was fairly neglectful when it came to either noticing I had them or trying to get rid of them. The shame and constant combing of trying to get rid of them had given me a deep hatred of the beasts and inspired me to do maximum research for extermination.

My daughter will never go through what I did with them. I just wish I could help you out after school today, I honestly would!

Don't know what you do job wise but seems like there is a business opportunity for you. People would pay good money for you to getting rid off their and their DCs nits.😀😀

[Potteryprincess30]

@Beahun I am seriously considering it! I absolutely love destroying them and freeing children and parents alike from their reign of terror.

I need to take this show on the road!

It is probably slightly wrong that I get excited when an opportunity to exterminate occurs though

@MiaowTheCat lol. Hair down only at the weekends, thems the rules in this house

Those saying the chemicals are easier than combing out;you still have to comb out though, you can't leave your kid with a headful of dead lice and eggs.

Conditioner and toothcomb all the way here and Friday night is headcheck night.

[Potteryprincess30]

@TinklyLittleLaugh they don't use strong chemicals in the products anymore, its a oil type stuff that suffocates the lice. They became immune to some of the chemicals from the old days.

Of course they should be removed with conditioner after the shampoo treatment, but you need the lyclear to kill the eggs.

I need to start this business...sigh

[LEMtheoriginal]

Yes!!!!!! Just done DD'S hair with the nit comb and not one little fuckers left will maintain my every other day routine for another week just to be sure - hallelujah

[CotswoldStrife]

Yay OP! Well done!

Agree with TinklyLittleLaugh that combing is still needed though even after the Hedrin once (gloopy suffocating silicone product).

I've always just used the nitty gritty on wet hair then a regular plastic comb on dry hair everyday for a week then every other day the next. DC's primary send home any child found with live lice which helps.
