Headlice. Do I need to wash everything?

Both my kids have lice (nursery just called)and I am now scratching like a leper myself. Just bought two 10 minute treatments and a comb. Do I need to wash all sheets and towels post treatment and if so, if that enough?

I feel disgusting, I must say.

Louse eggs are glued to the hair, so don't fall off onto towels etc. But you'll probably "feel" cleaner if you do.
