So it looks like I need to go and buy some Hedrin!

DD's best friend had them a few weeks ago - now my DD definitely has them too. It's been a few weeks since her best friend had them - should i tell her mom that now my DD has them?

Are they going to keep going from head to head?

How long does Hedrin keep them immune for?

Argh - so many questions - this is the first time it's happened - I have no clue!

Hedrin doesn't work, let alone convey immunity. Sorry!
Conditioner, sit for twenty minutes, comb, comb, comb, comb......
Repeat every night or every other night, according to some sources.
Buy a big bottle of cheap conditioner, it may take a while!
Buy a nit comb from any chemist.

Some say tea tree oil shampoos and conditioners help.
